The Assembly is empowered to make recommendations to States on international issues within its competence. It has also initiated actions — political, economic, humanitarian, social and legal — which have affected the lives of millions of people throughout the world. The landmark Millennium Declaration, adopted in 2000, and the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document, reflect the commitment of Member States to reach specific goals to attain peace, security and disarmament along with development and poverty eradication; to safeguard human rights and promote the rule of law; to protect our common environment; to meet the special needs of Africa; and to strengthen the United Nations. In September 2015, the Assembly agreed on a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, as contained in the outcome document of the United Nations summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda (resolution 70/1).According to the Charter of the United Nations, the General Assembly may:Consider and approve the United Nations budget and establish the financial assessments of Member StatesElect the non-permanent members of the Security Council and the members of other United Nations councils and organs and, on the recommendation of the Security Council, appoint the Secretary-GeneralConsider and make recommendations on the general principles of cooperation for maintaining international peace and security, including disarmamentDiscuss any question relating to international peace and security and, except where a dispute or situation is currently being discussed by the Security Council, make recommendations on itDiscuss, with the same exception, and make recommendations on any questions within the scope of the Charter or affecting the powers and functions of any organ of the United NationsInitiate studies and make recommendations to promote international political cooperation; the development and codification of international law; the realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms; and international collaboration in the economic, social, humanitarian, cultural, educational and health fieldsMake recommendations for the peaceful settlement of any situation that might impair friendly relations among countriesConsider reports from the Security Council and other United Nations organsThe Assembly may also take action in cases of a threat to the peace, breach of peace or act of aggression, when the Security Council has failed to act owing to the negative vote of a permanent member.
