The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA)
is one of the six main organs of the United Nations. Formed in 1945, the GA is the main
deliberative council, and is the only one in which all 193 member nations have
equal representation. The assembly meets under either the president, Mogens
Lykketoft or the Secretary-General, Ban Ki Moon in regular yearly sessions.
In addition to overseeing the budget of the
United Nations, the GA is also responsible for appointing non-permanent members
to the Security Council, receiving reports from other committees and parts in
the United Nations and, the function that is simulated by the Model UN, making
recommendations in the form of General Assembly Resolutions.
Currently, one of the main points in the
agenda for the GA are the sustainable development goals, which have replaced
the millennium development goals. Issues that are also on the GA’s agenda for
the year include the question of protecting the climate, the treatment of
Palestinians in occupied territories, disarmament and global food security.
