General Assembly Regional Committee - WEOG 2
Western European and Others Group 2

About  this Committee 

The Western European and Others Group (WEOG) is one of several  unofficial regional groups in the United Nations that act as  voting blocs and negotiation forums. Almost  all members are in Western Europe, but the WEOG is unusual in that geography is  not the sole defining factor; Europe is divided between the WEOG and the Eastern  European Group, and the WEOG also contains Canada, Australia and New Zealand,  which are culturally and politically descended from Western European states but  are located far away from them. The group also contains one observer, United  States (which cannot vote but can put forward candidates for the General  Assembly), and one temporary full member, Israel (on a basis of "permanent  renewal of temporary full membership").
