Writing a Pre-ambulatory clause can be very confusing but once you know what needs to be done it is very very easy. The Pre-ambulatory clause is facts or statements that address the topic at hand, it could be facts, definitions or previous attempts to solve it. Below is a list of what your pre-ambulatory clause could possibly be about:

• References to the UN Charter;

• Citations of past UN resolutions or treaties on the topic under discussion;

• Mentions of statements made by the Secretary-General or a relevant UN body or agency;

• Recognition of the efforts of regional or nongovernmental organizations in dealing with the issue; and

• General statements on the topic, its significance and its impact.

• Any words needing to be defined in the resolution or in the question at hand.

Writing Operative Clauses are the most exciting part because this is where you can express your own ideas. Operative clauses offer solutions to issues addressed (your question of) earlier in a resolution through the perambulatory section. These clauses are action oriented and must include a who. Here are a few tips to write a good operative clause:

• make sure you have :

  • Who

  • What

  • When

  • How

  • Do not mention why, this is what your speech should have

• Make it as detailed as possible

• Make it meaningful

• Make sure it is your own idea

STRUCTURE:
