Talk:United Nations Regional Groups

message: Referring to regional membership numbers tHe article states:
"Three states - the United States of America, Israel and Kiribati - are not included in the above numbers."
Why?  The US and Israel are both part of WEOG.  I'd need to check on the status of Kiribati.
: Ok the article covers this further down.  I stand corrected. Robert Brockway 16:04, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I was wondering whether anyone could provide me with any "official" source about the Regional Groups, especially about the issue of the special status of the US, Israel and Kiribati. Also, the page of the IAEA (link on the UN Regional Groups page) says that the IAEA groups "are even less official" than the UN groups. Does anyone now whether this is put down anywhere? Thank you!

message: I've done a bit of work on the article, and wrote Eastern European Group earlier. Anybody still want to merge this with WEOG? I'll remove the sign on Sunday, if nobody minds.--Mátyás (talk) 22:20, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Hope you like my table; I have no good ideas on how to point out that the None group means Kiribati and the US, and not any real group. If someone would fix that detail, it would be great. If you agree on having the table as it is, that is. Mátyás (talk) 13:53, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks fine and I don't think there'll be any confusion about the None group since it's mentioned in the body. I'm not sure what the last column means though... ? Nightw 10:54, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The last column gives you in which years is the President of the United Nations General Assembly elected from which group. Say, WEOG gets the President in years ending in 0 and 5; they had the 2010 President, Joseph Deiss. Any idea on how to fix that column so it would make sense?--Mátyás (talk) 17:19, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I see now. Um ... no! Is that the way the system was worded? As in, does the charter state that WEOG group will get the president in years ending in 0 and 5, or was it just that the position shifts every year and this group comes after that one...? I think it's a perfect way of presenting it for the educated reader, but for readers with no prior knowledge on the system like me, I think they'd draw a blank (or at least I hope!). Maybe adding (years ending in) in parentheses and a footnote to elaborate? I'm not really sure... Nightw 20:39, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The source (http://www.un.org/ga/55/bgrdga.htm) states that the position rotates amongst the groups, what practically means what I had put in the table. I didn't think to deliberate on it here, because it's discussed with the groups, below. The table is only for overview, in the end.--... there's more than what can be linked. 21:42, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Latin American and Caribbean Group -> GRULAC 

message: I've made the "sorta" seating allocation, but there are two issues: this article and the map are not synched. In the article, the U.S. is included with the "None" group (along with Kiribati), but on the map, and on the United Nations Security Council article, they treat the U.S. as a WEOG member. I don't care either way, but one has to give. If it counts, I followed the map. –HTD 11:58, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right to include the US in WEOG - the regional groups exist for electional purposes, and the US participates in elections at the UN as a member of the WEOG.

thread_title:  Western Europe and Others Group (WEOG) 

message: In 2011 the Asia Group has been renamed to Group of Asia and the Pacific Small Island Developing States. On this Wikipedia page it's currently shortened to Asia-Pacific. I think it would be better to render it as Asia and the Pacific, for several reasons.
* It can be easily confused with Asia-Pacific, which is ill-defined, but typically excludes Western Asia, which is part of the UN group
* It better reflects the official full name of the UN group
* It seems to be more common in UN documents:
** 535,518 results for "Asia and the Pacific" 
** 13,892 results for "Asia and Pacific" 
** 93,476 results for "Asia Pacific"
