3. It assesses the credentials of all UN members before submitting a report to the General Assembly for approval.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

The UN Credentials Committee is established by the General Assembly itself, not the Security Council, and reports directly to the Assembly. Its primary role is to examine the credentials of all UN member states' representatives before the start of each session of the General Assembly. The committee typically meets just before the General Assembly session begins to verify the documentation presented by member states.
