The First Lady of Sierra Leone, Madam Fatima Maada Bio has announced that she will today, the 7th November, 2022, address the United Nation General assembly at around 3pm Sierra Leone time.
She made this announcement in a Social media post, yesterday the 6th November, 2022.
“Tomorrow Monday 7th Nov, history will be made at 3pm Sierra Leone time as I address the UN General Assembly. Stay tuned for the full story.”
The UN General Assembly, the main policy-making body of the UN, was created under Chapter IV of the Charter of the United Nations, signed in San Francisco on 26 June 1945.
The Charter outlines its key functions, including “promoting international co-operation in the economic, social, cultural, educational and health fields, and assisting in the realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion”.
The assembly meets from September to December each year and then again from January to August, if required. Representatives debate and make decisions on issues such as peace and security and the admittance of new members.
As outlined in the charter, the assembly may approve the UN budget, elect non-permanent members of the UN Security Council, and appoint the secretary-general, among other things.
