Position Paper

General Assembly 2

United States

General Information

This page represents the purposes and importance of the General Assembly in the UN debating process; I am giving my personal point of view and some conclusions about this committee.

Established in 1945 under the Charter of the United Nations, it occupies the central position in the UN as an important policymaking and representative organ with every single member participating and debating about multilateral and international issues.

Some of the duties and aims are to discuss any question relating to international peace and security make recommendations on it; to discuss and make recommendations on any questions within the scope of the Charter or affecting the powers and functions of any organ of the UN; to make recommendations for the peaceful settlement of any situation that might impair friendly relations among nations.

I think this is a very important committee because it discusses about the world peace between the countries and without that control any understandment could be acknowledge and neither does any resolution on a problem or debate.

I learned that the general assembly is divided in all this committees because each one of those has to treat a certain topic in order to have a control in the number of problems resolved and so each topic can be discussed at a time and not to accumulate everything.

HISTORY

The United States of America is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district; it compromises with freedom and liberty to its entire people no matter their special characteristics, political views or sexual orientation, the US remains the world's most powerful nation state. Over a span of more than five decades, the economy has achieved steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology.

The United States was oppressed by the British by years so tension started to show and that led to the American revolutionary war. On June 14, 1775, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia established under the command of George Washington. Proclaiming that "all men are created equal" and endowed with "certain unalienable Rights," the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

The country is situated in central North America; it lies between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to the east and Russia to the west across the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also possesses territories in the Caribbean and Pacific.

It has participated on the civil war, World War I, World War II and the cold war. In world war I America was part of the allies, America remained neutral during the World War II though Japan tried to made America part of the allies again, the United States was the only nation to become richer instead of poorer because of the war.

What I learned about United States is that indeed it is a country with so much culture and history; it has got all this strength and furiousness that makes it one of the best countries in the whole world.
