Committee Introduction:
The Economic and Financial Committee is the General Assembly’s Second Committee (GA2) and one of the four committees of the United Nations General Assembly. It includes all United Nations Member States, as under the UN Charter, all member states and observer states of the United Nations are part of the Second Committee and have an equal vote. Documents require a simple majority (51%) to pass and like other General Assembly Committees is not able to authorize armed interventions, impose sanctions or pass binding resolutions. Like all General Assembly committees the GA2 deals with matters regarding world peace, but focuses in the area of global finances and economics, within the field of the UN Charter.
The Second Committee is arguably the most important of the six General Assembly Committees, mainly due to the importance of managing finance while keeping the peace between nations. Since our world is meanwhile based on globalisation, including trading, debt between countries and transportation, an issue with finance can often lead to a global catastrophe. The GA2 has the important role of preventing such a catastrophe.
The GA2 is a relatively new committee that is not very common in MUN conferences, however it still is one of the most significant committees in the UN.
