Voting record
Since it first became a member of the Council in 2013, Cote d’Ivoire has either voted in favour of or has joined consensus on most resolutions tabled under item 4 (situations that require the Council’s attention), as well as all country-specific resolutions under item 2 (e.g., the situation in Sri Lanka). Nevertheless, Cote d’Ivoire has abstained during item 4 votes on the situations in Burundi, Belarus, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, and under item 2, on the texts on Venezuela (2018), Nicaragua (2021), and Eritrea (2021). It also voted against a 2021 item 4 resolution on South Sudan and a 2021 item 2 Resolution on the Tigray region of Ethiopia. For item 7 resolutions (human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories - OPT), Cote d’Ivoire has usually voted in favour (except for one abstention in 2016). Cote d’Ivoire voted in favour of all item 10 (technical assistance and capacity building) resolutions, except the 2017 and 2021 texts on cooperation with Georgia and the 2021 resolution on Ukraine. For thematic resolutions dealing with civil and political rights, Cote d’Ivoire has generally joined consensus. When there has been a vote, it has tended to vote in favour. However, Cote d’Ivoire voted against the 2014 and 2016 resolutions on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) and abstained on the resolutions on drones, integrity of the judicial system, and countering the world drug problem. For thematic resolutions dealing with economic, social, and cultural rights, Cote d’Ivoire has either joined consensus on or has voted in favour of all adopted texts.
