Why can committees discuss more than one resolution?
Although the UN technically allows multiple resolutions on the floor at one time, the UN will typically only address one issue in one resolution at any given session. Allowing only one resolution on the floor at a time requires participants to work harder behind the scenes to iron out their differences, and encourages the combination of ideas on a subject from the many bloc groups which naturally arise. Participants are still welcome to discuss multiple resolutions, but these must be brought to the floor for full debate, amendment and voting one at a time.
