The United Nations General Assembly (GA) is one of the six principal organs of the UN, the only one in which all member states have equal representation, and the main policy-making and representative organ of the UN. Its powers are to supervise the budget of the UN, appoint the non-permanent members to the Security Council, appoint the Secretary General of the United Nations and make recommendations in the form of General Assembly Resolutions.

The assembly monitors UN peacekeeping missions.
