General+Assembly

**The General Assembly is the only organ that every member is represented in. The duties of the Assembly are simple: It takes part in everything the UN does, such as approving members and managing financial plans. The Assembly only has full power on the budget, and the Assembly can vote in anything the UN does. The Assembly can also suggest what the UN does if threatened if the Security Council does not act. Each member of the UN can send five delegates, five alternative delegates, and however many advisors, but each member only gets one vote. The General Assembly meets once every year, starting the third tuesday in September, and the duration is usually three months. A special session may be called if needed. Only the Security Council or a greater part of the members can call a special session. An emergency special session can also be called if there is an emergency. There is a new president and vice president every annual session. The duties of the president are just to lead and direct Assembly work and discussion. The budget of the UN is about $18 billion for about 30 organizations and 52,000 employees. **
