A country can be removed from the United Nations General Assembly via a vote based on the recommendation of the Security Council.

"A Member of the United Nations, which has persistently violated the Principles contained in the present Charter, may be expelled from the Organisation by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council," Article 6 of the charter states.

Egypt and Mauritania have invoked the UN General Assembly Resolution 377 “Uniting for Peace” in a letter to the President of the General Assembly.
