Who votes like Iceland in the UN General Assembly?

It’s always fun to look the data from the votes of the UN General Assembly. Here we looked at the votes in the years 2000-2008 to see which countries agreed with Iceland the most. It turns out that the Nordic Countries, the Benelux, the Baltic States and Central European Countries are Iceland’s closest allies, in terms of votes. Iceland disagrees the most with the United States and Israel.
