the resolution being prepared. Debate continues until all clauses have been voted on. The Preambulatory clauses are debated as a whole right before the resolution is voted upon. Draft Resolution During lobbying sessions, delegates are expected to merge (i.e. combine two or more draft resolutions) similar resolutions in order to increase the potential support for the respective resolution. NOTE: In preparation for the UNSC, delegates are expected to prepare clauses for negotiations. When done merging, a main submitter must be selected. Any draft resolution must include a minimum of three signatories (co-submitters), in order for it to be taken into consideration by the Dias (the Chairs of the committee). In order for a resolution to pass within the UNSC, all P5 members must have either voted yes or at least abstained; in addition there must be a two-thirds majority. Resolutions should reflect perspectives of nations represented by the delegates, i.e. not personal views, and should be phrased and formatted in accordance to the guidelines for resolutions. Note that resolutions will be checked for plagiarism, format and overall adherence to the perspectives of the submitter nations by both the Chairs and the Advisory Panel. Request to declare a State as a Party to the Dispute Any delegate may propose to invite any other Member State of the United Nations, which is not represented in the Security Council to attend the meeting of the Security Council as an Observer until the end of the debates on the Topic Area. The author of the request shall mention the reason for advancing this request. The Chairpersons shall entertain a speaker against the motion, then put the motion to a vote. The matter shall be considered substantial, and as such requires a two-thirds majority. Presidential Statement The Security Council may choose to issue a Presidential Statement on issues not warranting a Resolution. The Statement may either be produced as “Presidential Statement” or as “Presidential Statement of Consensus”. This motion requires a unanimous vote.
