About General Assembly
"Of all our dreams today there is none more important or so hard to realize- than that of peace in the world. May we never loose this faith in it or our resolve to do everything that can be done to convert it one day into reality."
- Friedrich Ludwig Jahn
The UN General Assembly (UNGA) is the only universally representative body of the five organs of the United Nations. It is the main deliberative organ of united Nations. The function of the General Assembly is to discuss, debate, and make recommendations on a range of subjects pertaining to international peace and security - including development, disarmament, human rights, international law, and peaceful arbitration between disputing nations.
Decisions on important questions such as those on admission of new members and budgetary matter, require two third majority.
The General Assembly votes on many resolutions brought fourth by sponsoring states.
The General Assembly is the only part of the United Nations that represents all 193 member states, each of which has 1 vote.
One of its primary role is to forge friendly bonds among its member countries on the basis of the respect for the principal of equal rights and self-determination and show solidarity with millions of people.
After meaningful debates on topics of international interest, conclusive recommendations are made to the members. The general assembly's phenomenal contributions basically have always had an intent to save succeeding generations from the scourage of war and to reaffirm their faith in humanity.
Agenda
Agenda: Global Maritime Security
Maritime security functions are performed by a wide range of actors in fields such as maritime transport, fisheries inspection, border control, law enforcement and other authorities. They cover a vast spectrum of challenges, threats and risks aiming to ensure good governance at sea – conditional for an open, safe and secure global maritime domain.
The risks in the maritime transportation are very high and also add up to huge losses in case of any illegal or terror activities. Maritime threats such as terrorist, environmental destruction, illegal seaborne immigration, and transnational criminal and piracy threats have created demand to have regulated and standard maritime security systems in place.
