Israel leads UN condemnations by a wide margin

Sep 25, 2026

A look at ten years of UN General Assembly votes shows Israel condemned far more often than any other country, raising the question of whether the process is applied evenly.

  • Israel drew 188 condemnations between 2015 and 2025, more than five times Russia's 35.
  • The United States, Syria, Iran, and North Korea each landed in the low double digits or below.
  • China, Cuba, and Haiti received none at all, despite well-documented abuses.
  • Afghanistan, after decades of war, picked up a single condemnation.

Outlook: The gap is likely to keep fueling arguments that UN voting blocs, not conduct on the ground, drive who gets condemned.
