answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2019 answer text <p>Under the United Nations Charter, the UN General Assembly passes resolutions that make recommendations to Member States. These resolutions are not legally binding. While resolutions express the view of the General Assembly as a whole, those Member States which vote against or abstain on individual resolutions are not legally committed to implement their respective contents. Of the 313 resolutions adopted during the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly (2017-18), 234 were adopted by consensus (i.e. without a vote). Of the remaining 79 which were adopted by vote, the UK voted in favour of 44, against 25 and abstained on 10 occasions.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 18/07/2019 14:47:09 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
