About this Committee
Created in 1945, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is one of the UN’s main governing bodies and includes all 193 member states. It provides a platform where nations can come together to deliberate on global challenges, ranging from peace and security to economic and social development. Every country has one vote, making the Assembly the most inclusive and representative organ of the UN. Meeting each year in New York, the General Assembly reviews pressing international issues, adopts resolutions, and sets priorities for the organization. Among its responsibilities are electing the Secretary-General, selecting non-permanent members of the Security Council, overseeing the UN budget, and issuing recommendations to guide international action. Although its resolutions are not legally binding, the Assembly plays a vital role in shaping global dialogue and strengthening multilateral cooperation.
