Question

2. Each member of the United Nations has one vote in the General Assembly. Do you think this is fair? Explain.

Answer 1

As fairness is a subjective term, let's analyse this in terms of what countries are able to do in the situation. In the General Assembly every sovereign nation that joins is allowed to express its opinion and vote within this global body of governance. Some may argue that this gives too much power to tinier nation states. However, the General Assembly allows for these tinier nations to be heard on a global platform, while reigning in any truly disastrous schemes via the permanent bodies of the security council which hold veto powers over any errant decision.
