What does the General Assembly do?
The General Assembly is the unique world forum where all Member States are represented. It has been called the closest thing we have to a parliament of nations. It is here – and only here – that the world’s most pressing problems are addressed, a place where all countries can express their differences and reach agreement on how to proceed. Just as individuals in a democracy have equal voting rights regardless of whether they are rich or poor, powerful or weak, all countries in the General Assembly have the same voting rights. The vote of the General Assembly is therefore an accurate barometer of world opinion. Its decisions, though not legally binding on Member States, represent the moral authority of the community of nations. The UN is unique in that it is truly a “parliament of nations.” (see http://www.un.
