Take a look at the UN SC and GA Resolutions from 2002-2003.
UN SC Resolutions: 2003, <http://www.un.org/Docs/sc/unsc_resolutions03.html>; 2002, <http://www.un.org/Docs/scres/2002/sc2002.htm> UN GA Resolutions: 57th Session, 2002-2003, <http://www.un.org/Depts/dhl/resguide/r57.htm>
I don't see any GA Resolutions that are worse than SC Resolutions on the same or related subjects. What's bad in the bad GA Resolutions originates in their reaffirmations of the bad SC Resolutions, whereas what's good in the good GA Resolutions is completely missing from all SC resolutions.
No GA Resolution from 2002-2003, however, is as good as one of my favorite GA Resolutions -- A/RES/44/240:
***** United Nations A/RES/44/240 General Assembly Distr. GENERAL 29 December 1989
ORIGINAL: ENGLISH
A/RES/44/240 88th plenary meeting 29 December 1989
Effects of the military intervention by the United States of America in Panama on the situation in Central America
The General Assembly,
Taking note of the statements made in the General Assembly and the Security Council regarding the invasion of Panama,
Reaffirming the sovereign and inalienable right of Panama to determine freely its social, economic and political system and to develop its international relations without any form of foreign intervention, interference, subversion, coercion or threat,
Recalling that, in accordance with Article 2, paragraph 4, of the Charter of the United Nations, all Member States shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations,
Reaffirming the need to restore conditions which will guarantee the full exercise of the human rights and fundamental freedoms of the Panamanian people,
Expressing its profound concern at the serious consequences the armed intervention by the United States of America in Panama might have for peace and security in the Central American region,
1. Strongly deplores the intervention in Panama by the armed forces of the United States of America, which constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and of the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of States;
2. Demands the immediate cessation of the intervention and the withdrawal from Panama of the armed invasion forces of the United States;
3. Demands also full respect for and strict observance of the letter and spirit of the Torrijos-Carter Treaties;
4. Calls upon all States to uphold and respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Panama;
5. Requests the Secretary-General to monitor the developments in Panama and to report to the General Assembly within twenty-four hours after the adoption of the present resolution.
