FYI: Is it true that UN votes from democratic countries are often seen as having a higher degree of legitimacy?

sailor(Ocean & Mountain)

Yes, in international diplomacy, votes or positions taken by democratic countries at the United Nations (UN) and in other international forums are often seen as having a higher degree of legitimacy for several reasons:

1. **Democratic Accountability**: Leaders of democratic countries are typically elected by their citizens through a democratic process. This accountability to the electorate can provide a perception of legitimacy to their foreign policy decisions. Citizens in democracies have a say in choosing their leaders, which can make the leaders' actions and positions more representative of the people's will.

2. **Transparency and Rule of Law**: Democratic countries tend to have higher levels of transparency, adherence to the rule of law, and respect for human rights. These principles underpin the perception of legitimacy in international affairs. Their foreign policy decisions are often seen as being consistent with these values.

3. **Peaceful Conflict Resolution**: Democracies often seek peaceful means to resolve international conflicts and disputes. They are less likely to engage in armed conflict with other democracies, which contributes to stability and peace in the international system. This commitment to peaceful conflict resolution enhances the perceived legitimacy of their actions.

4. **Commitment to International Institutions**: Democratic countries tend to be more active participants in international institutions like the UN. They are more likely to adhere to international agreements, treaties, and conventions, and to cooperate with other countries through these forums.

5. **Alignment with Democratic Norms**: Democracies are expected to uphold democratic norms, such as free and fair elections, freedom of the press, and the protection of individual rights. When they advocate for these norms in their foreign policy, it is often viewed as consistent with broader international values.

6. **Diplomacy and Multilateralism**: Democracies tend to emphasize diplomacy, negotiations, and multilateral approaches to international problems. This commitment to diplomacy can enhance the legitimacy of their positions on the international stage.
