Didn't Switzerland recently become a full UN member? - stewacide 12:21 Jan 1, 2003 (UTC)
- Yes, Switzerland -- (September 10 2002). I deleted it from the observer states list.
The picture is labelled with copyright info, and labelled Must Credit Author on its image page: this appears inconsistent with the GFDL, so I will remove it. Can the author of this picture donate it under the GFDL, please? Arthur Frayn
Not sure about violations of GFDL. But the UN allows use of photographs for editoral/education purposes and NOT for advertising or publication, without payment. --PY
Sadly, that's the kind of restriction the GFDL is incompatible with. I have found a picture from the U.S. Government NARA site, which appears to be in the public domain, to replace this with. Arthur Frayn
That's good. --PY
I think we should move the observer list to United Nations member states--Saint-Paddy 17:14, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Were there any resolutions introduced in UN General Assembly condemning US military actions during/after the US invasion of Iraq ?

- A lot of questions are answered at the general assembly faq, some of which could be incorporated into the article.Goatchurch 10:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Always a Brazilian Claim
It is getting quite annoying that people keep removing the widely well known fact that the first speaker of the General Assembly is always a Brazilian delegate. Nevertheless, when I added this bit for the first time, I took care to mention the sources but seems that people keep removing them:
- From the Brazilian Minstry of Foreing Affairs
- Just check the UN website for past transcripts and you'll find that in every General Assembly Session, the first is always a Brazilian
This is a wide well known fact amongst people that have a little knowledge about the UN General Assembly. Now, if people editing this article is anware of the matter, that doesn't mean it is wrong. Just have a look around, otherwise it just look like an interesting tradition about the Assembly is being undermined (politics, perhaps?) --Pinnecco 20:15, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Srgjan Kerim
Why does the infobox list him as being from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia? if no one can come up with a reason I plan on changing in to the correct Republic of Macedonia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Schrandit (talk • contribs) 17:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- The constitutional name is Republic of Macedonia, but the name used by the UN itself is "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" (alphabetized under "t"!). Some editors feel that this means we should follow the UN's naming convention in articles about the UN, even though we use the other name elsewhere. I'm personally not enthusiastic about that rule, but it came out as sort-of-consensus in the latest rounds of discussion, while trying to come up with a set of naming conventions at WP:MOSMAC.
