According to the UN Charter, important issues that require action by the General Assembly, such as the adoption of a new treaty or the suspension of a member state's voting rights, must receive the support of two-thirds of its members present and voting. A simple majority or a three-fourths majority is not sufficient for these types of decisions. Permanent members of the Security Council have a veto power, but this does not apply to the General Assembly.
