Writing Resolutions

Hello Global Classrooms Delegates!

Today we learned about writing resolutions! Look below for the words that we can use for part 1 and part 2 and the PowerPoint.

PowerPoint: Resolutions

Part 1: Preambulatory Clauses function to explain WHY you are doing what you are you doing. This can be a reminder of some of the problems or impact of our topic or citing past UN actions. 

FOR EXAMPLE: Recognizing the prevailing problem of violence against women,

Affirming Alarmed by Approving Bearing in mind Believing Confident Contemplating Convinced Declaring Deeply concerned Deeply conscious Deeply convinced Deeply Disturbed Deeply Regretting Desiring Emphasizing Expecting

Emphasizing Expecting Expressing it’s appreciation Fulfilling Fully aware Emphasizing Expecting Expressing it’s appreciation Fulfilling Fully aware Further deploring Further recalling Guided by Having adopted Having considered

Having examined Having received Keeping in min Noting with deep concern Nothing with satisfaction Noting further Observing Reaffirming Realizing Recalling Recognizing Referring Seeking Taking into consideration Taking note Viewing with appreciation Welcoming

Operative Clauses state specifically what you plan to do in order to solve a problem. Remember to make your solutions SMART! They should begin with an UNDERLINED WORD/PHRASE followed by your solution and ending with a semicolon (;). 

FOR EXAMPLE: Encourages all countries to create government programs to help victims of violence and ensure fair and transparent reporting practices of police agencies;

Accepts Affirms Approves Authorizes Calls Calls upon Condemns Confirms Congratulates Considers Declares accordingly Deplores Designates Draws the attention Emphasizes Encourages Endorses

Expresses its appreciation Expresses its hope Further invites Deplores Designates Draws the attention Emphasizes Encourages Endorses Expresses its   appreciation Expresses its hope Further invites Further proclaims Further reminds Further recommends Further requests Further resolves

Has resolved Notes Proclaims Reaffirms Recommends Regrets Reminds Requests Solemnly affirms Strongly condemns Supports Takes note of Transmits Trust
