Resolution Guideline and a

list of actions the body is

calling for or recommending. As such, the resolution be a

complete thought and take

matters to their conclusion. fFor example, a resolution should not

call for the creation of a

committee but not specify the membership or duties committee.

This point is reflected in

the structure of the resolution, which is one grammati cally

correct sentence.

of the first page in single-

spaced lines. On the first line, the committee name should appear•

Each resolution must have a title. The title of the resolution should be that same as the agenda

item to which it refers. The title should be centered a few lines below the heading and in bold

Text

The text is composed of two parts: the preambular clauses and operative clauses. Each clause is

uritten as a separate paragraph with the first line of each indented five spaces and the initiating

phrase underlined or italicized. Each paragraph is single spaced with double spaces between

them.

Preambular clauses contain the justification for the resolution's submission and passage. They begin with words such as "Taking note of," "Recalling," or "Cognizant of." Each clause ends with a comma. Note that in substantive debate and voting bloc preambular clauses cannot be amended, so delegates should be careful in their wording.

Operative clauses denote the action to be taken. They begin with verbs such as "Applauds,""Requests," or "Urges." Each clause ends with a semi-colon, except the last clause, which endswith a period. Each operative clause is numbered.

When writing resolutions delegates are to use only those initiating phrases listed here.
