In mid-September, hundreds of diplomats attend the annual session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Organization’s main deliberative body. A large proportion of them come from their respective capitals.

Before taking up their assignments, new delegates in particular may benefit greatly from a concise and intensive learning exercise focused on the functions of the General Assembly. UNITAR’s General Briefing for new delegates, which attracts hundreds of participants annually, offers this opportunity.

To enable participants to: Describe the functions and powers of the General Assembly; Determine the role of the President of the General Assembly; Address its subsidiary organs and rules of procedure; Understand the role and mission of the General Assembly Secretariat; Analyse the 70th session of the General Assembly, its documents and resolutions.
