<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>
