Abstract
This article aims to analyze the legal aspects of the relationship between the General Assembly and the Security Council in matters of international peace and security. Through a literature review, it is argued that the relationship between the two bodies has been problematic due to the weak legal framework provided by the UN Charter, which provides for overlapping functions and does not define anybody as an arbitrator to resolve conflicts of competence. In addition, attempts to coordinate work between them have generally been ineffective, as there are no regular and permanent bases of contact. In this context, politics has been filling in the gaps, and the interpretation of the UN Charter has alternated between conservatives and liberals according to the balance of power in the organization. Finally, it is argued that the current conflicts (Syria, Ukraine and Venezuela) gently herald a new liberal era in the relationship, giving more prominence to the General Assembly.
