The General Assembly meets in regular annual sessions and in special sessions when necessary. Special sessions are convoked by the Secretary General at the request of the Security Council or of a majority of the members of the UN.

Any matter within the scope of the charter may be brought before the General Assembly, which may make recommendations on all ex­cept issues on the agenda of the Security Council. However, the Gen­eral Assembly in November, 1950, decided that if the Security Council, because of lack of unanimity among its permanent members, fails to exercise its primary responsibility for maintenance of international peace and security, in any case where there appears to be a threat to peace, breach of peace or act of aggression, the Assembly may con­sider it and recommend collective measures including, in the case of a breach of peace or act of aggression, the use of armed forces to main­tain or restore peace. In such cases, the General Assembly may be con­vened within 24 hours in an emergency special session.
