	MSN Encarta - United Nations General Assembly
		According to the UN Charter, the General Assembly may discuss any question or matter brought before it and may make recommendations to member nations and also to the UN Security Council; the Assembly may not, however, make recommendations on matters that the Council has under consideration, except at the request of the Council.
		The most important and frequently misunderstood aspect of the General Assembly is that, according to the charter, its resolutions are not legally binding; the force of its recommendations rests on their representation of world public opinion.
		The Assembly passes resolutions by simple majority, except on important questions, such as recommendations on peace and security; election of members to any of the other five UN organs; admission, suspension, and expulsion of members; and budgetary matters.
