Each of the 193 Member States of the United Nations has an equal vote. The Assembly’s annual general debate provides Member States the opportunity to express their views on major international issues. On this occasion, the Secretary-General presents on the opening day of the debate his report on the work of the Organization.
Abstract
The Assembly makes recommendations to States on international issues within its competence. It has also taken actions across all pillars of the United Nations, including with regard to political, economic, humanitarian, social and legal matters.
The Assembly agreed on a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, contained in the outcome document of the United Nations.
the Assembly traditionally also conducts informal consultations on a wide range of substantive topics towards the adoption of new resolutions
The Assembly may also take action in cases of a threat to the peace, breach of peace or act of aggression, when the Security Council has failed to act owing to the negative vote of a permanent member.
