United Nations General Assembly

Constitutional role

Under Article IV of the Constitution of Humanity, the General Assembly is the representative legislative body for the United Nations’ civil and fiscal matters. Every recognized nation is a member and may decline to participate. Each nation has one vote plus one additional vote for every complete one million residents; voting thresholds are calculated by total voting power, not simply by counting delegations.

The Assembly may legislate within United Nations civil powers, implement universal rights, raise revenue, appropriate funds, and establish courts and civil institutions. Ordinary decisions require more than half of total voting power; where a supermajority is required, it means two-thirds.

Voting and military boundary

An Assembly vote must remain open for at least seventy-two hours following authenticated notice of the final matter. Nations may act through authorized persons, national proxies, or secure computational delegates under their control, including across long communications delays. The Assembly may petition for a change in Security Council composition under Article V, but it does not command military forces, direct operations, or exercise strategic release authority.
