The Assembly was the main body of the League of Nations, it was the meeting place of all members. Each country which was a member sent someone to represent them at the assembly. The Assembly couldn’t enforce actions, but could recommend them to the Council of the League of Nations. The Assembly met only once a year.
There were some areas where the Assembly could vote. These included permitted other countries to join the League, electing non permanent members of the League, approving and deciding the budget of the League and ultimately recommending action for voting to the Council.
One major drawback of the Assembly was that all decisions had to be unanimous. All members must agree on the action.
