Resolution Paper

Resolution Papers

Over the next few weeks, I will encourage you to write a resolution paper for each of your topics.

You do NOT need to write a perfect paper... but you will use this document during Lobbying and any speech-making that you might do.

Don't panic - and do email me if you need help!
The key is that you have to use the words italics to open each clause. This makes the paper quite easy to write :-)
Why should I prepare a resolution draft and what exactly is it?

What are the different steps?


Example of Language (the information in bold and italics is essential.. but also makes creating this paper much simpler).

Bearing in mind that the « Rome Statute »  treaty was established on July, 17, 1998 by the International Criminal Court establishing four core international crimes: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression,

Having considered that our past leader of state, Saddam Hussein, was accused on August 21st 2006 of Crimes against Humanity,

Noting that Amnesty International issued a statement that it « opposed the death penalty in all circumstances but it was especially egregious when this ultimate punishment is imposed after an unfair trial. »,
