📄 Resolutions
Resolutions are the main outcome of most MUN committees: a formal document that states the committee’s decisions and recommendations.
📐 Structure
- Preambulatory clauses — “Noting,” “Acknowledging,” “Recalling” past actions and context. No actionable language.
- Operative clauses — “Calls upon,” “Encourages,” “Recommends” specific actions. Numbered; can have sub-clauses.
🔄 Process
- Draft resolutions are written (often in blocs) during unmoderated caucus.
- They need a minimum number of signatories and/or sponsors, set by the conference.
- Once introduced, the committee debates and can amend (friendly or unfriendly amendments).
- Voting: amendments first, then the resolution as a whole. Majority usually required to pass.
Use the correct phrasing and follow your conference’s format. See Templates for examples if available.
