United Nations Regional Groups are the geopolitical regional groups of member states of the United Nations. UN member states were originally unofficial grouped into five geopolitical regional groups. What began as an informal means of sharing the distribution of posts for General Assembly committees has taken on a much more expansive role. Depending on the UN context, regional groups control elections to UN-related positions, on the basis of geographic representation, as well as coordinate substantive policy, and form common fronts for negotiations and voting. As of May 2014, the 193 UN member states are divided into five regional groups:〔(United Nations Regional Groups of Member States ), 9 May 2014, accessed 28 September 2015.〕 * the African Group, with 54 member states * the Asia-Pacific Group, with 53 member states * the Eastern European Group, with 23 member states * the Latin American and Caribbean Group (GRULAC), with 33 member states * the Western European and Others Group (WEOG), with 28 member states, plus 1 member state as observer. Kiribati is not included in the above numbers (see below). ==Overview== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United Nations Regional Groups」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
