Unversed in UNGA? Here’s your handy guide to UN General Assembly meeting lingo

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. General Assembly’s yearly meeting of world leaders is here — and with it, an array of acronyms, abbreviations, titles and terms.
New Yorkers sometimes just use “General Assembly” to describe what many experience mainly as a week of street closures and whizzing motorcades, but the assembly isn’t just this meeting.
GENERAL DEBATE: The centerpiece of the week, it gives each country’s leader (or a designee) the mic for a state-of-the-world speech.
Many UNGA veterans argue that the gathering’s real value lies in these tête-à-têtes and other personal, off-camera encounters among decision-makers.
While this week is the Assembly’s show, the council generally also holds a high-wattage meeting or two.
