Votes for draft terms of reference for the UN tax convention on 16 August 2024:

  • for: 110 countries
  • abstain: 44 countries
  • against: Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, the UK and the US

The whole article is worth reading though, it has lots of interesting statistics.

Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, the UK and the US

Surprise surprise.
