An assembly constitutes a group of people and politicians who represent the needs and the priorities of the citizens. It represents not only the needs and the priorities of the common people but also involves in debates regarding laws executed and implemented and the prevalent issues effecting either a fragment of the society or the entire society as a whole.
An assembly plays such an integral role in a society that theoretically it can actually alter the laws discussed and issued. In addition, it can also bring a change in the society. Despite this fact, the position of assemblies has declined. This deterioration of the importance of the assemblies, be it due to the weaknesses of the assemblies themselves or due to the growing influence of the government, cannot overshadow the truth that assemblies played an integral role in some of the major world events either independently or as a part of an organisation for example, the general assembly in the Cold War.
One of the six entities of the United Nations International Organisation is the 'General Assembly'. This general assembly played a valuable role in several events encompassing the cold war. It influenced the events of the cold war not only when the war was primarily bipolar but also when the war became more global. The general assembly did not only focus on passing resolutions that concerned global peace and human rights but also participated in relieving the regions trapped in cold war crisis.
Though, the general assembly could not work to its full potential like all the other entities of the UN, due to the superpower conflict and the ideological differences, the severe cold war crisis such as the 'Suez Canal Crisis' and the 'Korean War' could have been worse if the supporting policies of the general assembly weren't simultaneously in place.
