SCORECARD: VOTES ON SELECTED HUMAN RIGHTS RESOLUTIONS IN THE 61st UNGA 3rd COMMITTEE IN 2006

SCORECARD: HOW U.N. MEMBER STATES VOTED ON SELECTED HUMAN RIGHTS


RESOLUTIONS IN THE THIRD COMMITTEE OF THE 61st GENERAL ASSEMBLY, 2006
The two scorecards below rank UN member states by the votes they cast on resolutions recently considered in the UN General Assembly's Third
Committee. The resolutions chosen for this analysis are those concerning some of the worst human rights violators. The results range from a
score of 6 (positive votes on all six resolutions) to -6 (negative on all six resolutions). A governments absence from the vote or a vote to abstain
was given a value of zero, as abstentions cut both ways (countries sometimes abstain to make a principled stand on a resolution when they feel
they cannot vote counter to the wishes of regional or other alliances). The first scorecard ranks the members of the United Nations Democracy
Caucus, a group of governments established in 2003 by the Community of Democracies to coordinate common positions on issues regarding
democracy and human rights. The second scorecard analyzes the votes of all other countries not in the UN Democracy Caucus.
