775 July 20,1990 REPORT ON VOTING PRACTICES AT THE NATIONS 44thGENERAL ASSEMBLY INTRODUCTION Because of its increasing dismay that nations routinely vote against the United States at the United Nations and other international bodies, Congress in 1983 mandated that these votes be tabulated and publ i shed. As such, three laws, P.L. 98-164, P.L. 99-500 and P.L. 101-167 require the State Department to subst an annual report to Congress on the voting practices of the member countries of the U.N. in international organizations. This report, commonly calle d the Kasten Report after the sponsor of the original enabling legislation, Senator Robert Kasten, the Wisconsin Republican, has become an important tool for U.S. policy makers. Until this year, the Kasten Report had maintained the same format and methodol ogy from year to year to provide the continuity necessary for analyzing and comparing voting perfoymance over timi.

With the passage on November 20,1989, of Section 527 of the Appropria tions Act for Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related Program s 1990, contained in P.L. 101-167, Congress changed the format of the report The 1989 report, released by the State Department on March 31,1990, has several differences from the versions of past years, but does not make the most potentially damaging chang e of incorporating consensus decisions in the calculation of how often a nation votes with the U.S called voting coin cidence. Some legislators who oppose the Kasten Report had hoped to include these decisions to make the U.N. General Assembly appear more ag greable to U.S. interests than it actually is.

Consensus decisions should not be included in the tabulation of how other nations vote at the United Nations in relation to the U.S.The reason: consen sus resolutions of the U.N. General Assembly or of any other legislative body often are non-controversial and frequently do not even touch on policy is sues. Many are housekeeping resolutions involving such routine matters as membership on continuing committees and commissions. Examples from the 44th General Assembly, which met from September to December, 1989, in clude Resolution 44/402l, Adoption of the agenda and allocation of agenda items, and 44/307, Confirmation of the appointment of the Administrator of the United Nations Development Program.

Other consensus resolutions, known as motherhood resolutions, desig nate years of celebration and various tributes and honors. Typical are Resolution 44/11, noting the Achievements of the International Year of Peace, and Resolution 44/19, on theTwenty-Fif th anniversary of the estab lishment of the United Nations Conference onTrade and Development.

Masking Disagreement. At every U.N. General Assembly there are a few consensus resolutions of genuine substance -like, the resolutions of the 44th General Assemb ly on the biennial budget plan -but the unanimity recorded in the final vote masks the hard bargaining and tradeoffs that make it possible to achieve consensus at the end. Even then, consensus may have been reached only when some nation or nations retreat ed from a principled posi tion. The meaningful divisions over issues of substance are hidden in commit tee proceedings or in informal negotiations, if in fact they are recorded at all.

Common to all of these categories of consensus is the fact that the fin al vote, or non-vote; is substantively meaningless. Including such resolutions in a voting scorecard, therefore, would skew the record, making U.N. proceed ings seem much more harmonious and collegial than they are. As in any legis lative body, the most a ccurate record is that focusing on definable differences in interests, principle, and policy.The methodology used in the Kasten Report reflects that approach.

Foundations United Nations Assessment Project has tabulated and sorted the-votes at Lhe44&-U.N Ge nera! Assembly-using- the methodology of the Kasten Reports of the past six years.This report provides the-necessary con tinuity and comparability by presenting the percent coincidence of countries votes with the U.S. at the G-eneral Assembly. In addition , it contains the per cent coincidence of countries votes with the U.S.S.R. and categorical break downs according to the major issues dealt with by the 44th General Assemb Because of the changes made to the Kasten Report this year, The Heritage 1 The first number in a resolution refers to the General Assembly session which passed it; the second number following the slash, indicates the numerical order in which it was passed. For instance, resolution 44/135 was the 135th resolution passed by the 44th General Assembly 2 ly, data not included in the Kasten Report but important to the analysis of countries performance in the General Assembly NOTE ON METHODOLOGY AND SOURCE DATA The tables showing percent coincidence of countries votes with the U.S and with the So viet Union take into account recorded votes during the 44th General Assembly, which held its plenary session from September 19, 1989 to December 29,1989.They are calculated on the basis of yes/no votes only.

They do not take into account absences or abstentions; they do not include decisions made by consensus.

The sum of the number of recorded votes on which a nation voted yes when the U.S. voted yes or no when the U.S. voted no yields a number of votes with the U.S.The sum of the number of recorded votes on which a nation voted yes or no and the U.S. voted yes or no yields that nations total yes/no votes. Each nations percent coincidence with the U.S. on all recorded General Assembly votes is derived by dividing that nations votes with the U.S. by its tot al yes/no votes. Dividing the sum of all nations votes with the U.S. by the sum of all nations total yes/no votes yields the average overall coincidence with the U.S.

Adopted by the General Assembly During the First Part of its Forty-Fourth Session (United Nations Department of Public Information Press Release GM977, January 22,1990 except for the 21 paragraph votes and three pro cedural votes, which are based on data obtained from the U.S. Department of State The calculations are based on data from Resolu tions and Decisions PAlTERNS OF VOTING AT THE U.N The average overall coincidence with the United States in the 44th General Assembly was 17.15 percent. Average overall coincidence of voting with the Soviet Union, meanwhile was a remarkable 95.07 percent.

Assembly covered a very broad range of issues, the majority fell into one of four topical categories 1) Economic Development/International Regulation Issues (1 1 votes average coincidence with the U.S. 2.20 percent; average coincidence with the U.S.S.R. 9 7 .81 percent Though the 140 resolutions on which votes were taken in the 44th General Examples: Resolution 44/26: The Law of the Sea U.N. congratulates itself for drafting the Law of the SeaTreaty, calls upon all nations that have not done so to sign it, a n d if not, to observe its provisions I 3 Resolution 44/50: Questions Relating to Information Urges elimination of imbalances in news reporting on developing countries (meaning criticism that does not take into account the interests, aspira tions, and socio - cultural values of all peoples) and mandates that the U.N.3 Department of Public In formation cooperate more closely with UNESCO from which the U.S. withdrew in 1985 2) Southern African Issues (24 votes: average coincidence with the U.S 11.65 percent; ave rage coincidence with the U.S.S.R. 91.50 percent).

Examples: Resolution 44/27 A International Solidarity with the Liberation Struggle in South Africa Reaffirms U.N. official recognition of the African National Congress and the Pan Africanist Congress as na tional liberation movements, with the right to use any necessary means, including armed strug gle, to end apartheid in South Africa; and orders South Africa to lift its state of emergency and end various repressive measures.

Resolution 44/27 F Relations b etween South Africa and Israel Singles out and condemns Israel as the major col laborator with the racist minority regime of South Africa (despite the fact that in paragraph C of the resolution the Federal Republic of Germany, not Is- rael, was determined to be South Africas leading trading partner. Among the sponsors of this resolu tion were Iraq, Kuwait, and Qatar, who, along with other Arab proponents of this resolution, are the leading suppliers of crude oil to South Africa 3) Middle Eastern Issues (37 votes: average coincidence with the U.S Examples:.

Resolution 44/40 A The Situation in the Middle East 17.96 percent; average coincidence with the U.S.S.R. 94.69 percent Condemns Israel for terrorist, aggressive, and repressive measures within and outside occupied Palestinian territory; condemns the U.S. for economic and strategic assistance to Israel; demands the immediate, unconditional and total withdrawal of Israel from all the territories occupied since 1967 4 Resolution 44/42: Question of Palestine D emands that Israel withdraw from the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem andfrom the other occupied Arab temtones (em phasis added) and calls for a Middle East Peace Con ference under U.N. auspices and for placing Palestinian te r rito ry under the supervision of the United Nations for a limited period, as part of the peace process 4) Disarmament Issues (44 votes: average coincidence with the U.S. 26.36 Examples Resolution 44/112: Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space percent; average coincidence with the U.S.S.R. 98.22 percent).

Insists that outer space should be used exclusively for peaceful purposes; calls upon the U.S. and the Soviets to undertake bilateral negotiations in a con structive spirit aimed at reaching early agree ment for preventing an arms race in outer space This echoes almost verbatim the Soviet line against the U.S. position on development of defenses against nuclear weapons Resolution 44/107: Urgent Need for a Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Calls for an end t o nuclear testing by all States in all environments for all time This, too, is the Soviet position and opposes the U.S. stance on an arms control issue Treaty Other Issues, on which there were 22 votes, include such resolutions as Resolution 44/240 Effects of the Military Intervention by the United States of America in Panama Condemns .the action of the U.S. military in Panama allegedly constituting A flagrant violation of inter national law and of the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of s tates.(No other nation except Israel, was condemned by name for involve ment in armed conflict. Even past resolutions on Af ghanistan called only for the withdrawal of foreign troops and did not mention the Soviet Union by name 5 Resolution 44/43: Judgeme n t of the International Court of Justice of 27 June 1986 concerning military and paramilitary activities in and against Nicaragua: need for immediate compliance In effect, this resolution affirms the International Court of Justices (ICJ) opinion in Nkarapa vs.

United States that General Assembly Resolutions constitute a form of international law, a position the United States has always (and for good reason strongly opposed. It also denies the U.S. its right, as expressed in the U.N. Charter, to deny ICJ jur isdic tion over a dispute Included in these votes were 21 taken on specific paragraphs of certain resolutions. There were also three procedural votes, including the perennial illegal attempt to exclude Israel from participation in the General Assembly by denying credentials to the Israeli U.N. delegation. The breakdown of voting coincidences with the U.S. and the Soviet Union on each of these topics is shown inTable IV.

Of these 140 votes taken on resolutions in the 44th General Assembly, the U.S. voted for 14, against 93, abstained on 31, and refused to participate on 2.

The Soviet Union voted in favor of 133, against 1, abstained on 4, and refused to participate on

2 . A list of these resolutions, their titles, and their respective categories appears in Appendix C blocs, much like the political parties in western democracies. These blocs are based on common geographical, cultural, religious, political, and ethnic char acteristics. Among the U.N. blocs are: the African Group, Arab Group ASEAN, Asian and Pacific Group, Eastern European Group, European Economic Community, Islamic Conference, Latin American Group, NATO Non-Aligned Movement, Nordic Group, Warsaw Pact, Weste r n European and Others Group. While there are other groups formally associated with the U.N like the Organization of African Unity, League of Arab States, and the Organization of American States, the thirteen listed above comprise the best breakdown for an alyzing bloc voting in the General Assembly. Membership in and overall voting coincidence by these thirteen major blocs is shown in Appendix A.

By far the most powerful bloc with 99 member states, the so-called Non Aligned Movement had a 98.90 percent aver age coincidence with the Soviet Union and only a 11.60 percent average coincidence with the U.S. On economic development and international regulatory issues, the voting of the Non-Aligned Movement as a group is even more skewed, with a 100 percent coincid ence with the Soviet Union and a zero percent coincidence with the U.S.

Even excluding votes on issues regarding the Middle East and Southern Africa (which together comprised over 43 percent of all resolutions voted on in the 44th General Assembly the aver age voting coincidence with the U.S Voting Blocs. In the General Assembly, typically, member states form 6 still is only 19.18 percent. The African Group, excluding votes pertaining to Southern Africa, has an average voting coincidence of 13.61 percent wi th the U.S.The Arab Group and the Islamic Conference have average voting coin cidences with the U.S. of 10.26 percent and 12.08 percent, respectively, when votes dealing with the Middle East are excluded.

Every year since 1982, a group of countries has tri ed to prevent Israel from participating in the General Assembly. This attempt comes in the form of a vote on whether to accept the credentials of the Israeli delegation.Thirty seven countries voted to deny Israeli credentials in the 44th General Assemb Sm a ll Thanks for U.S. Aid. The U.S. failed in the 44th General Assembly to get even those countries which receive substantial U.S. aid (except Israel to support U.S. positions in the U.N. Egyps the number two recipient of U.S dollars, receiving $2.3 billion i n fiscal 1989 had an overall voting coincidence with the U.S. of only 11.58 percent. Pakistan received $583 million from the U.S. in fiscal 1989 and had a 9.80 percent overall coincidence. India, to which the U.S. gave almost $163 million in fiscal 1989, had an abysmal 5.43 percent overall coincidence, second only to Angola in opposing the U.S. at the U.N.

The average voting coincidence with the U.S. of the top 50 recipients of U.S. bilateral aid was 15.06 percent.Their coincidence with the Soviet Union wa s 96.86 percent. These countries and their individual voting coincidences are shown inTable 111 ly CONCLUSION Since U.S. votes in the General Assembly generally reflect U.S. policy goals and interests, the overall voting performance of the majority of the U.N. member states demonstrates that the U.N. agenda is largely inimical to U.S. interests.The U.S. is almost always isolated on the issues which matter most those on which a vote is taken. Perhaps more important, the Soviet Union's positions are almost a lways endorsed by the majority at the U.N.

With an overall voting coincidence of only 17.15 percent, the U.S. continues to fare quite poorly at the U.N.

Holding Nations Accountable. George Bush should instruct Thomas Pick ering, U.S; Ambassador to the U.N . in New York, to advise U.N. member states that their performance in the General Assembly will have a bearing on their bilateral relationship with the U.S.This should be backed up by provid ing the records of voting performance at the U.N. to each U.S. e m bassy abroad and requiring those missions to inform the local government of the I I 2 The number of countries voting to deny Israeli credentials had been as high as 43 in 1983 and as low as 39 in 1987 3 "FY 1989 U.S. economic and Military Assistance Actua l Obligations in Agency for International Development Congressional Presentation, Fiscal Year 1991, Main Volume, pp. 239-243 I 7 record.The U.S. Ambassador then should advise the local government that continued poor performance will elicit appropriate resp o nses from Washington. While this by no means should be the only factor for determin ing aid and loans from the U.S it should play some role in that. Where pos sible, financial assistance should be used as leverage to encourage support for U.S. positions o n important issues at the U.N MarkAFranz Director, United Nations Assessment Project and Jay Kingham Fellow in International Regulatory Affairs Patrick Martin and Ben Kaminetzky of The Heritage Foundation assisted in the compilation of this report a STATIS TICAL DATA AND APPENDICES Contents Table I Table 11 Table 111 Table Iv Overall Voting Coincidences with the United States and U.S.S.R.

Key issues are those which the U.S. government takes up with U.N. member countries not only at the U.N but also in their capitals. For the purposes of this report, The Heritage Foundations United Nations Assessment Project has chosen the ten most important of these key issues. Appendix E shows each countrys votes on these ten key issues and shows the total agreement, disagreement and voting coincidence with the U.S. on the key issues.

The following is a list of the ten key issues for the 44th General Assembly as determined by the United Nations Assessment Project 1) The procedural vote on Israeli credentials is the annual attempt to exclude I srael from participation in the General Assembly 2) Resolution 44/22 The Situation in Kampuchea, calls for the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Cambodia, also known as Kampuchea 3) Resolution 44/40A The Situation in the Middle East: Palestine and Int e rnational Peace Conference, determines that the U.S.-Israeli strategic cooperation agreement has encouraged Israeli aggressive policies, and reaffirms the call for an international peace conference 4) Resolution 44/43 International Court of Justice Judgem e nt re Nicaragua is the Nicaraguan-sponsored resolution that calls on the U.S. to comply with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decision which purports to make U.N. General Assembly resolutions customary international law, and thus legally binding 5 ) Resolution 44/50 The Questions Relating to Information calls for the establishment of a new world information and communication order. The United States opposes resolutions containing elements which might be cited to just

restrictions on the free flow o f information and freedom of the press 6) Resolution 44/105 The Cessation of All Nuclear Test Explosions urges depository powers of the Limited Test BanTreaty (LTBT) to halt all nuclear test explosions.This perennial Mexican initiative is in direct confli c t with U.S. policy on nuclear testing and deterrence 7) Resolution 44/117D Nuclear Arms Freeze undermines fundamental U.S. defense policy such as deterrence and flexible response by calling for the U.S. and U.S.S.R. to agree to an immediate nuclear arms f r eeze 8) Resolution 44/120 Indian Ocean Zone of Peace reiterates decision to convene a conference on the Indian 0cean.The United States opposes a conference addressing the military presence of non-regional powers in the region 9) Resolution 44/167 The Enla r gement of the Commission on Human Rights was a resolution the United States was prepared to support only if expansion was directly linked with making the commission more effective.The final text eliminated this policy connection which led the U.S. to vote against it 10) Resolution 44/240 Military Intervention in Panama strongly deplores U.S intervention in Panama, and demands the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. armed forces 66d t-
