Introduction
Since its inception, the UN General Assembly has been a forum for lofty declarations, sometimes audacious rhetoric, and rigorous debate over the world’s most vexing issues, from poverty and development to peace and security. As the most representative organ of the United Nations, the assembly holds a general debate in the organization’s New York headquarters from September to December and convenes special sessions at other times to address a range of issues.
This year’s session will commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations’ founding. It will mark the event on September 21 with a high-level meeting. For the first time in UN history, the session will be held almost entirely online, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and regulations on international travel and large gatherings.
World leaders and top officials will submit video statements to be played in the General Assembly Hall. Leaders will virtually convene for the general debate beginning September 22. U.S. President Donald J. Trump signaled that he intends to appear before the assembly in person.
Underpinning this year’s agenda is the theme of multilateralism. World leaders are expected to debate issues including the global response to the coronavirus pandemic and sustainable development. Discussions on climate change, biodiversity, and nuclear disarmament are also on the agenda.
What is the UN General Assembly?
The UN General Assembly is the only universally representative body of the United Nations. The other major bodies are the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Secretariat, and the International Court of Justice. As delineated in the Charter of the United Nations, the function of the General Assembly is to discuss, debate, and make recommendations on subjects pertaining to international peace and security, including development, disarmament, human rights, international law, and the peaceful arbitration of disputes between nations.
It elects the nonpermanent members of the Security Council and other UN bodies, such as the Human Rights Council (HRC), and appoints the secretary-general based on the Security Council’s recommendation. It considers reports from the other four organs of the United Nations, assesses the financial situations of member states, and approves the UN budget, its most concrete role. The assembly works with the Security Council to elect the judges of the International Court of Justice.
