Which statement best describes equal representation in the UN General Assembly?

• A. A permanent seat automatically guarantees a veto.
• B. Regional blocs vote exclusively on regional issues.
• C. Only permanent members may vote.
• D. Each member state has representation and votes on resolutions.

Answer: (D)

In the UN General Assembly, equal representation means every member state has a seat and a vote, regardless of size or power. This reflects sovereign equality—one state, one vote—so all 193 member states can participate in debates and vote on resolutions. The General Assembly’s decisions aren’t about veto power or regional blocs; vetoes are a feature of the Security Council, not the General Assembly. The best description is that each member state has representation and votes on resolutions.
