How are draft resolutions used at UNIMUN?
UNIMUN will not accept resolutions in advance of the Conference, but draft resolutions may be brought to the Conference or submitted on the floor by any delegation or group of delegations. UN resolutions are usually started by one country (or perhaps a small group of countries) and then circulated to bring in new perspectives and to gain broader acceptance. More importantly at the UN draft resolutions on any given topic are discussed, changed, combined and amended until they are acceptable to a vast majority, and often to all of the delegations present. To present a more accurate simulation of the UN, UNIMUN strongly urges delegations to focus on the difficult process of diplomacy which can lead to consensus decisions on final resolutions, rather than focusing on initial drafts. By definition, even the best drafts can only serve as a starting point for a final document which will reflect the desires of most, if not all members of the international community.
