Although the General Assembly adopts six resolutions, including texts on global economic governance, multilingualism, wildlife protection, eradicating Malaria. Will it be able to implement them or will they be just on paper as previous resolutions have been .
In fact United Nation general Assembly has become a talking shop and does not take any effect action in implementing its resolutions. Presidents, Prime Ministers, Foreign Ministers, delegates and representatives of 193 member States came to the 72nd Assembly to attack each other and did a lot of finger pointing e.g. President Donald Trump attacking North Korea and Iran, India and Pakistan attacking each other, Israel attacking Iran and so on. They have made the General Assembly an arena for critising each other rather than resolving any problem like solving the issues of millions of refugees needing humanitarian aid, fighting terrorism , climate change challenges, dealing with starvation in Africa, protecting human rights, tackling immigration problems, and ending war in Syria.
The whole structure and institutions of United Nations need urgent reforms and revitalisation to meet the challenges of the 21st century problems, otherwise it will go the way United League went down in 1945.
