Dave Martin,
As I understand, it Resolutions of the General Assembly are merely recommendations, these are the ones frequently sited against Israel with which they don't have to comply
Security Council resolutions can also be recommendations, but in the case of Iraq were mandatory, hence the difference in application, generally no stuff gets though concerning Israel though I notice there was a recent UNSCR condemning operations in the Gaza
Strangely enough to give you some idea who runs the General assembly, it refused to condemn attacks on Israel children, but managed to pass a resolution attacking Israel and condemning attacks on Palestinian children – seems the UN General assembly only works one way when it comes to Israel………
