UN resolutions
Global body decisions
UN resolutions are formal decisions or declarations issued by bodies of the United Nations, particularly the Security Council and General Assembly.
Security Council resolutions can be legally binding on member states, while General Assembly resolutions typically express international consensus without enforcement power.
They address issues from peacekeeping missions to human rights: The resolution condemned the invasion, a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire.
