Resolution
What is
resolution?
A resolution is a document that
contains all the issues that the
committee wants to solve and the
proposed solutions to that issue.
It’s called a resolution because
that’s what the United Nations
calls the documents they produce.
Technically, the resolution should
be called a draft resolution before
it is voted upon and then called a
resolution after it is successfully
passed during voting bloc.
Important terms
1. The author of a resolution is called a sponsor.

2. The supporter of a resolution is called a signatory.
How to write a resolution?
A resolution is actually really simple to write. It has three main parts: the heading, the pre-ambulatory
clauses, and the operative clauses.
1. Heading
The committee name and topic should be self-explanatory. The sponsors are the authors of the
resolution. The signatories are other delegates in the committee who do not necessarily agree
with the resolution but would like to see it debated.
2. Pre-ambulatory clauses
The pre-ambulatory clauses states all the issues that the committee wants to resolve on this issue. It
may state reasons why the committee is working on this issue and highlight previous international
actions on the issue. Pre-ambulatory clauses can include:
1. Past UN resolutions, treaties, or conventions related to the topic
2. Past regional, non-governmental, or national efforts in resolving this topic
3. References to the UN Charter or other international frameworks and laws
4. Statements made by the Secretary-General or a relevant UN body or agency
5.General background info formation or facts about the topic, its significance, and its impact.
3. Operative clauses
Operative clauses state the solutions that the sponsors of the resolution proposes to resolve the issues.
The operative clauses should address the issues specifically mentioned in the pre-ambulatory clauses
above it.
Amendments
Approved draft resolutions are modified through
amendments. An amendment is a written statement that
adds, deletes or changes an operative clause in a draft
resolution.
1. A friendly amendment is a change to the draft

resolution that all sponsors agree with. No voting
required.
2. An unfriendly amendment is a change that some or all

of the draft resolution’s sponsors do not support and must
be voted upon by the committee.
