Welcome to the United Nations. It's your world.

About the General Assembly

The General Assembly is the main deliberative, policymaking and representative organ of the United Nations. Comprising all 193 Members of the United Nations, it provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of the full spectrum of international issues covered by the Charter. The Assembly meets in regular session intensively from September to December each year, and thereafter as required.

All members of the United Nations are represented in the General Assembly. Each nation, rich or poor, large or small, has one vote.
