United Nations Member Countries' Voting Records

The majority of United Nations Resolutions are adopted without a vote. If a vote is taken, you may get a summary of the vote (the number of yeas and nays) or the resolution may be adopted with a "recorded" or roll call vote. Only the recorded votes will give any indication of how a country voted on a particular resolution.

There are few online sources for voting records. The following are print sources are the easiest way to locate voting records on UN member countries:
