Special cases of UN regional groupings
Israel
In May 2000, Israel became a full member of the Group of Western European and
other States on a temporary basis (subject to renewal), thereby enabling it to
put forward candidates for election to various bodies of the General Assembly.
In 2004, Israel obtained a permanent renewal to its membership.
Kiribati
As of 2010, Kiribati (geographically in Oceania) is not a member of any
regional group, despite other Oceania nations belonging to the Group of
Asia-Pacific States.
Türkiye
Türkiye participates fully in both the Group of Western European and other
States and the Group of Asia-Pacific States, but for electoral purposes is
considered a member of the Group of Western European and other States only.
While Türkiye is listed in both groupings in the original dataset; here we
remove the duplication and list it only where it is a voting member, i.e.,
Western European and other States
United States of America
The United States of America is not a member of any regional group, but
attends meetings of the Group of Western European and other States as an
observer and is considered to be a member of that group for electoral
purposes.
