The General Assembly is composed of representatives of all member nations.
Each nation may send
not more than five representatives to each session. Each nation is entitled to one vote.
The General Assembly meets in regular annual sessions and in special sessions when
necessary. Special sessions are convoked by the Secretary General at the request of the Security
Council or of a majority of the members of the UN.
Important matters, such as international
peace and security, admitting new members, the UN
budget are decided by two-thirds majority.
In recent years, a special effort has been made to reach
decisions through consensus, rather than by formal vote.
Any matter within the scope of the charter may be brought
before the General Assembly, which
may make recommendations on all except issues on the agenda of the Security Council. However, the
General Assembly in November, 1950, decided that if the Security Council, because of lack of
unanimity among its permanent members, fails to exercise its primary responsibility for maintenance
of international peace and security, in any case where there appears to be a threat to peace, breach of
peace
or act of aggression, the Assembly may consider it and recommend collective measures
including the use of armed forces to maintain or restore peace. In such cases, the General Assembly
may be convened within 24 hours in an emergency special session.
