Overview of GA

The General Assembly is formed of six committees, who debate and deal with different aspects that concern the world. As all members of the United Nations are represented in the GA, it allows for multilateral debate and discussion to take place, where all members are actively involved in finding acceptable solutions where ever possible.

GA1 - Disarmament and International Security (DISEC)

The First Committee of the GA deals with issues that concern the world in relation to the prevention of weapons trading, and issues that pose a threat to international security.

The issues debated in GA1 are strongly similar to those in the Disarmament Commission and are lighter forms of the topics of the Security Council.

In GA1, delegates find solutions to issues concerning illicit arms trading and production and try to prevent the impacts of arms trading and production therefore improving international security around the world.

<aside> 📌 GA1 is one of the common forms of GA in most conferences.

GA2 - Economic and Financial

The Second Committee of the GA deals with issues that concern the world in relation to development and growth of countries by boosting their economies.

GA2 is concerned with trying to improve the situation of LEDCs and how to better handle issues where economics and finances are involved and trying to find financial solutions to many of the world’s economic issues.

The issues debated in GA2 are lighter forms of the topics in ECOSOC and pertain around the idea of sustainable development, economic development and progress, eradication of poverty and better methods of globalisation and trade.

GA3 - Social, Humanitarian and Cultural

The Third Committee of the GA works on improving the Social and Humanitarian situation in countries. Along with the development of countries, and improving social concerns, GA works to improve the interior problems posed by differences in cultures of a country, which therefore have an impact on the social situation of a country.

<aside> 📌 As GA3 works closely with improving humanitarian aspects of society, they are similar to both ECOSOC and the Human Rights Council.
