This year, UNGA has also extended its use of the silence procedure and has empowered UNGA President to circulate draft decisions to all Member States at least 72 hours after consulting with the General Committee. If there are no objections raised, such decisions are considered adopted. It is expected that the Omnibus Resolution on “Comprehensive and Coordinated Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic” will be adopted via this mechanism.
