Resolution 181 of the General Assembly was passed by the General Assembly with 33 countries agreeing to it; 13 against it and 10 countries abstaining. The General Assembly only has the power to make recommendations. It is the Security Council which holds the power. Here, Resolution 181 was the recommendation made by the General Assembly to the Security Council. General Assembly Resolution 181 passed but It was never carried further by the Security Council. If it had been, it would have been noted as a Security Council resolution. THE BEACON This message is confusing since U.N.
