प्रश्न
What is the composition of the General Assembly? How does it hold the deliberations?
उत्तर
The General Assembly is the only organ of the UN in which all member countries are represented. All member States have equal voting power and equal status. Each member country may be represented by upto five state delegates but each and all of them has only one vote. While some decisions like passing of budgets, admission of new members may require two-thirds, other decisions need simple majority. Since new and smaller States outnumber the big nations, their combined weight and strength has prevented domination of big nations. This composition of the General Assembly is indeed its greatest strength.
The General Assembly holds deliberations by conducting regular sessions, which begin on third Tuesday in September every year and continue until mid December. However, if required by more than half of the member States special sessions may also be held.
