This is the main class for the course. Please read the recommended reading as well if you have time, which I will be using for the bulk of this class.

You've read the rules in the first class. You know what you cannot write. Now we will look at how you should write a proposal.
First, remember that the resolution must be addressed and must concern the UN as a whole. It really isn't a good idea to make a proposal that will only benefit a few countries, or one which is aimed at a select group (liberal, conservative, etc.). Rather, your proposal should be for the common good and have an effect on the international community as a whole.
Your proposal should be written in proper formal English. Generally, this means no contractions in addition to proper spelling.
There are two parts of a UN Resolution. Preambulatory clauses and operative clauses. Preambulatory clauses explain the reasons for the action or the action's purpose. Operative clauses on the other hand are statements or actions regarding what the resolution actually does.
As taken from Sophista's "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Resolution Writing (But Were Too Afraid To Ask)", here is a list of example clauses used in UN Resolutions.
If we look at a real UN Resolution (as in the real world United Nationstates), we see that the format for a resolution is very similar. They have perambulatory clauses first and then operative clauses. In this example the perambulatory clauses are in italics but unnumbered and the operative clauses are also in italics but are numbered.
One more class tomorrow or Tuesday, and then you will be given your final essay.
