Preambulatory and Operative phrases of the resolutions

The preamble of a draft resolution states the reasons for which the committee is addressing the topic and highlights past international action on the issue. Each clause begins with a present participle (called a preambulatory phrase) and ends with a comma.

Preambulatory clauses can include:

· References to the UN Charter;

· Citations of past UN resolutions or treaties on the topic under discussion;

· Mentions of statements made by the Secretary-General or a relevant UN body or agency;

· Recognition of the efforts of regional or nongovernmental organizations in dealing with the issue; and

· General statements on the topic, its significance and its impact.

Operative clauses offer solutions to issues addressed earlier in a resolution through the perambulatory section. These clauses are action oriented and should include both an underlined verb at the beginning of your sentence followed by the proposed solution.

Each clause should follow the following principals:

· Clause should be numbered;

· Each clause should support one another and continue to build your solution;

· Add details to your clauses in order to have a complete solution;

· Operative clauses are punctuated by a semicolon, with the exception of your last operative clause which should end with a period.
