General Assembly (GA)
The General Assembly is one of the six main organs of the United Nations, the only one in which all Member States have equal representation: one nation, one vote. All 193 Member States of the United Nations are represented in this unique forum to discuss and work together on a wide array of international issues covered by the UN Charter, such as development, peace and security, international law, etc. In September, all the Members meet in the General Assembly Hall in New York for the annual General Assembly session.
Our work falls under The following main committees of the GA:
1. Second Committee (Economic and Financial Committee)
2. Third Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee)
The report provides an update on progress made since 2015 towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular its aspects of relevance to older persons and population ageing. The report highlights key issues and challenges in the full and effective inclusion of older persons in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It also features selected work carried out by the Inter-Agency Group on Ageing. Key recommendations for consideration by Member States are set out in the concluding section.
