The only resolutions that have the potential to be legally binding are those that are adopted by the Security Council. General Assembly resolutions usually require a simple majority (50 percent of all votes plus one) to pass. However, if the General Assembly determines that the issue is an “important question” by a simple majority vote, then a two-thirds majority is required; “important questions” are those that deal significantly with the maintenance of international peace and security, admission of new members to the United Nations, suspension of the rights and privileges of membership, the expulsion of members, operation of the trusteeship system, or budgetary questions. A United Nations General Assembly resolution is a decision or declaration voted on by all member states of the United Nations in the General Assembly. UNGA voting is generally held in public. Context – India abstained from the UNGA resolution calling for reparation to be paid to Ukraine by Russia.
