From 2015 through 2025, the UN General Assembly has adopted 187 resolutions against Israel and 90 against other countries. For texts and voting sheets, see the UN Watch Database, which will be updated to include the 2026 UNGA resolutions after they are published by the UN in January 2027.
The UN Watch Database also documents that since 2006, the UN Human Rights Council has adopted 116 resolutions against Israel, 45 against Syria, 18 against Iran, 14 against Russia, and 4 against Venezuela.
The 2026 UNGA Resolutions: 12 on Israel vs. 7 on Rest of World
In 2026, the UNGA is expected to adopt 12 resolutions on Israel and only seven resolutions on the entire rest of the world, which includes one resolution each on North Korea, Iran, and Myanmar, as well as two against Russia and two against the United States, as detailed in the charts below.
These figures reflect the resolutions expected to date and may change as the General Assembly continues its work through the end of the year, with additional resolutions potentially added.
It is worth noting that this year’s resolution on the Situation of human rights in the Syrian Arab Republic is expected to be non-condemnatory in nature, and is therefore not included in the resolution count.
UN Watch opposes the adoption of one-sided and counterproductive resolutions at the United Nation. We have launched a campaign urging countries to oppose them. Click here to take action: Demand that your country end its biased votes that demonize Israel.
| Resolution | Extracts | Analysis |
| “The risk of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East” [A/C.1/81/L.2] 1st Committee Vote (Expected Oct. 27 - Nov. 3)
Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
“Recalling that Israel remains the only State in the Middle East that has not yet become a party to the Treaty…” | Resolution singles out Israel while ignoring menacing actions of other states, including Iran’s illegal efforts to acquire nuclear weapons in defiance of Security Council and IAEA resolutions. Ignores overt and repeated threats against the existence of Israel by neighboring states in the region. |
| “Oil slick on Lebanese shores” [A/C.2/81/L.3] 2nd Committee Vote (Expected Nov. 11)
Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
“Reiterates, for the twenty-first consecutive year, its deep concern about the adverse implications of the destruction by the Israeli Air Force of the oil storage tanks in the direct vicinity of the Lebanese Jiyah electric power plant for the achievement of sustainable development in Lebanon…” | One-sided resolution completely ignores Hezbollah’s role in launching hostilities, firing 4,000 rockets and burning 500,000 trees in Northern Israel. Ignores Lebanon’s non-compliance with SC Resolutions on dismantling Hezbollah. Singles out Israel as only country to be censured under Sustainable Development agenda item. |
| “Permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan over their natural resources” [A/C.2/81/L.39] 2nd Committee Vote (Expected Nov. 11)
Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
TBD | One-sided resolution denies Israel’s right to self-defense by describing every preventative measure as conspiracy against Palestinian resources. Omits mention of Palestinian terrorism or any Palestinian obligation. Also omits Palestinian harm to natural resources, such as destruction of Gaza greenhouses delivered intact by Israel; Hamas’ commandeering of international aid money to fund the construction of terror tunnels rather than to rebuild destroyed infrastructure; environmental pollution caused by Palestinian tire burning; destruction of flora and fauna with arson balloons and kites; and refusal to develop their own water resources and deal with their own sewage as required by the Oslo Accords. |
| “The right of the Palestinian people to self-determination” [A/C.3/81/L.21] 3rd Committee Vote (Expected Nov. 10)
Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
TBD | Redundantly asserts a principle that Israel has already recognized. Out of hundreds of self-determination claims worldwide, resolution singles out one: the claim against Israel. Omits Palestinian obligation under the Road Map to dismantle terrorist infrastructure before a state is to be created. The Committee already adopts a self-determination resolution for the whole world titled “Universal realization of the right of peoples to self-determination” while singling out Israel with this one resolution for Palestinian self-determination. |
| “The occupied Syrian Golan” [A/RES/81/TBD] 4th Committee Vote (Expected Nov. 18)
Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
TBD | Ignores the existence of the Syrian Civil War and its security implications for Israel and the civilians of the Golan Heights. Also ignores Syria’s history of shelling Israeli communities, its leader’s calls for a “war of annihilation” against Israel, and Syria’s 1967 aggression that led to its loss of the territory. Also neglects Syria’s sponsorship of the enemies of the peace process, and its support for terrorism. Falsely claims that Israel is oppressing and imposing Israeli citizenship on the Arab population of the Golan Heights. |
| “Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and the occupied Syrian Golan” [A/RES/81/TBD] 4th Committee Vote (Expected Nov. 18)
Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
TBD | Adopts Palestinian position on issues that Oslo Accords left to negotiations, such as settlements and borders. Israel is treated with disdain in comparison to praise and deference to governments in other country resolutions. Makes sweeping legal pronouncements on disputed matters, for example by accusing Israel of violating international law for ordering demolitions of illegally built structures in territory over which it has administrative control. Makes an immoral equivalence between Palestinian terror and violence and Israeli countermeasures. Specifically condemns incitement by “Israeli settlers,” but fails to expressly condemn widespread, official terrorist and antisemitic incitement by Palestinian officials, media and education. |
| “Assistance to Palestine refugees” [A/RES/81/TBD] 4th Committee Vote (Expected Nov. 18)
Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
TBD | Resolution serves Arab states that seek to preserve Palestinians as pawns in political campaign to delegitimize Israel. Intent and effect of singling out Palestinian from all refugee claims in the world is to isolate and demonize Israel. Omits any reference to Lebanon’s discrimination against Palestinian refugees in that country or Syria’s collective punishment of Palestinian refugees in that country and their treatment as second-class citizens. |
| “Palestine refugees’ properties and their revenues” [A/RES/81/TBD] 4th Committee Vote (Expected Nov. 18)
Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
TBD | One-sided resolution ignores claims of 900,000 Jewish refugees displaced from Arab lands. Repeats statements previously established for purpose of censuring Israel and is redundant to other resolutions. Prejudges negotiations. |
| “Operations of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East” [A/RES/81/TBD] 4th Committee Vote (Expected Nov. 18)
Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
TBD | Perpetuates anomaly whereby Palestinians are the only people not served by UNHCR but instead by special agency. Resolution makes one-sided condemnations of Israeli actions, but silent on Palestinian terrorism against Israelis and abuses of Palestinian forces against their own citizens. Ignores UNRWA admission that members of Hamas, a terrorist organization, were on its payroll. Resolution calls on Israel to allow construction materials into the Gaza Strip yet fails to acknowledge Hamas use of such materials to build attack tunnels and other terror infrastructure. |
| “Peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine” [A/RES/81/TBD] Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
TBD | Blames Israel only for lack of peace. Text is redundant to several other resolutions and serves no effect other than demonization. References to terror fail to name its perpetrators, whereas Israel is named and blamed throughout. |
| “The Syrian Golan” [A/RES/81/TBD] Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
TBD |
Redundant to “the Occupied Syrian Golan.” Oblivious to genocidal massacres taking place now in Syria and its security implications for Israel and the civilians of the Golan Heights. Ignores Syria’s history of shelling Israeli communities, its leader’s calls for a “war of annihilation” against Israel, and Syria’s 1967 aggression that led to its loss of the territory. Calls on Israel to negotiate with Syria and Lebanon while not making the same demand of those countries. |
| “Division for Palestinian Rights of the Secretariat” [A/RES/81/TBD] Plenary Vote (Expected in Dec.) |
TBD | The DPR serves the biased special committee and is dedicated to spreading anti-Israel propaganda the world over. Its 16-member staff is grossly disproportionate to the UN’s other four divisions which cover enormous geographical regions. The DPR’s work is counter-productive to the peace process and seeks to coordinate international boycotts against Israel instead of seeking bridges for peace. Excludes from its events any NGO that declines to swear fealty to its hardline politics. |
