    What was the rationale for any New Zealand vote at the United Nations General Assembly in the most recent session that differed from New Zealand's previous position or from that of like-minded partners, if any?

Answer

I am advised that it is it not possible to provide an answer to this question within the timeframe for answers to Written Questions, due to the need to collate substantial information. The term ‘session’ in the UN context usually refers to the regular annual sessions of the General Assembly (GA). An annual session begins in September and the GA typically adopts between 250 and 350 resolutions during such a year-long session.
