Programme 26: UNITED NATIONS – 3. ČÁST

The General Assembly is the main parliament of the UN, but how do its powers compare with the Security Council? Pam O'Toole The General Assembly, which is kind of a parliamentary body almost, one country one vote, can consider a draft resolution, adopt a draft resolution either by voting on it or by consensus, but that won't have any binding power. Any resolution adopted by the Security Council has binding power on a member state so it should actually take action on what the Security Council says. VOCABULARY General Assembly - Valné shromáždění OSN kind of a parliamentary body - jakýsi druh parlamentu draft resolution - návrh rezoluce consensus - společný postoj, konsensus binding power - závazný
