Resolution Guidelines

• Resolutions must be submitted as a PDF or google document.

• Before submitting, we recommend you submit the document on an account not linked to an internal organisation eg. Your school, as we may not be able to access your resolution.

• Submit all resolutions to radmun@rathdownschool.ie

In the subject line of your submission please label it in the following order:

1. Committee
2. Topic
3. Delegation

RADMUN 2024 will have an internal approval panel to check that all resolutions have the correct formatting and aren’t illegal before they are approved for debate.

Simple formatting issues (eg. Punctuation and clause labelling) will be fixed on the document before debate.

For any larger issues, including illegalities and sub-clause formatting, the approval panel will return the resolution to the delegate through the RADMUN email with recommendations that will make it suitable for debate.

Please note that due to a large influx of resolutions being submitted and other tasks and duties of the members of the approval panel, they may not see every mistake. If in committee you feel as if the approval panel missed anything, feel free to raise the issue with your chairs and submit an amendment or friendly amendment to solve the issue.

For more detailed information on resolution guidelines, please see the resolution writing guide below.

Some general guidelines:

• No single sub- or sub-sub clauses
• A full stop only at the end of the resolution
• A semi-colon (;) at the end of each clause
• A comma at the end of each sub-clause
• No punctuation at the end of sub-sub clauses
• No illegal actions (please see the guide for more information)
• No Security Council Language outside Security Council
• Do not repeat operative clauses

Headings

Preambles

The line above your perambulatory clauses must include your full committee name at an indent and in all caps.

Each committee should be labelled as follows:

• THE HEALTH & YOUTH COMMITTEE,
• THE SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND HUMANITARIAN COMMITTEE,

If your resolution makes it to General Assembly, this will be adjusted accordingly.
