*Special Cases

Israel In May 2000 Israel became a WEOG full member, on a temporary basis (subject to renewal), in WEOG's headquarters in the US, thereby enabling it to put forward candidates for election to various UN General Assembly bodies. In 2004 Israel obtained a permanent renewal to its membership.

Kiribati As of 2010, Kiribati (geographically in Oceania) is not a member of any regional group, despite other Oceania nations belonging to the Asian group. Despite its membership in the United Nations, Kiribati has never delegated a permanent representative to the UN.

Turkey Turkey, participates fully in both WEOG and Asian Group, but for electoral purposes is considered a member of WEOG only.

United States of America The United States of America is not a member of any regional group, but attends meetings of the Western and Other States Group (WEOG) as an observer and is considered to be a member of that group for electoral purposes.
