RESOLUTIONS The resolution is the final product of debates and discussions throughout the day at the Global Classrooms Conference. After much discussion and negotiation, the resolution presents the problem and most importantly the recommendations on how to solve it. The General Assembly votes whether or not to pass the resolution. You will write this with delegates from other member states. Teamwork!!
You should write your resolutions with 3-4 other countries. The countries that write up the resolution are sponsors. The countries that sign the resolution saying they support it are called signatories. In order for a resolution to be considered, you must get 20% of the countries in the room to be signatories on your resolution. Resolutions will then be read out and after debating many times countries will come up with amendments to the resolutions, which are changes that are added on. At the end of the day, the whole committee votes for the amendments and resolutions.
Resolutions are VERY important! The main goal of the entire conference is to come up with a resolution!
The Structure of a Resolution
1st - Preambulatory clauses or phrases These clauses serve to describe the problem that the committee is trying to address before specific recommendations are listed.
2nd - Operative clauses or phrases These clauses identify the actions and recommendations made in a resolution. This is the most important part of the resolution!
