Introduction


This analysis covers the UN General Assembly Votes from the 69th to 75th sessions (2014 - 2020).
It is based on Eric Voeten’s UN Voting data, which can be found here.

The actual spreadsheet for this analysis can be found here.

The codebook for the above spreadsheet can be found here.

Total number of UN Resolutions from 2014 \(-\) 2020 = 679, with the following breakdown:

Session 69 (2014 - 2015): 81
Session 70 (2015 - 2016): 73
Session 71 (2016 - 2017): 119
Session 72 (2017 - 2018): 124
Session 73 (2018 - 2019): 95
Session 74 (2019 - 2020): 91
Session 75 (2020 - 2021): 96

Note that data for Serbia is missing for sessions 74 and 75. There is an error in the cited dataset and I have emailed the author (Eric Voeten at Georgetown) about this.
