How often France voted the same way as each permanent Security Council member, of the resolutions both cast a yes/no/abstain vote on.
| Permanent member | GA only | GA + SC |
|---|---|---|
| United States of America | 51.8% | 66.3% |
| Russian Federation | 56.2% | 71.6% |
| United Kingdom | 86.0% | 90.0% |
| China | 42.2% | 59.2% |
The pie chart is based on the “GA only” column, showing each member’s share of the combined total across all shown members (it does not sum those percentages to 100% on its own) — see the table for the actual agreement rate with each. The “GA + SC” column blends in Security Council votes, which are adopted almost unanimously and so tend to pull every country’s number up.
P5 alignment over time
Same GA-only metric, by year. A member’s line starts wherever it first has enough shared votes in a year to be meaningful (at least 5) — for Russia, that’s never before 1991, since the USSR voted under a separate historical record.
