1. Realistic and Strong Resolutions
-A focus on how to fund and execute specific plans, acquire resources, etc.-

2. Quick Review on Resolutions
3 parts
Heading
Perambulatory Clauses
Historical background related to action
Operative Clauses
Policies/plans that the resolution is creating
How the committee resolves to address the issue
Section “J” of the Member Resource Packet
HAS ALL OF THE BASICS!!!

3. DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS
Refer to facts whenever possible
Be knowledgeable of how previous solutions turned out; refer to those previous solutions and outcomes
Have realistic goals that can be met through realistic methods
Provide specific methods for how the plan would work in the global environment
Be as specific as possible
Who, Where, What, When, How

4. Funding The United Nations Annual Budget
Research how much the UN allocates
towards certain programs (specialized budgets)
Member Countries
Member states with high GDPs may have the ability to contribute towards a project
Middle-income states can be encouraged with incentives
More “internal” sources
Using any of these sources requires ample research in order to realistically demonstrate how these sources would provide money.
Further funding from “external” sources would be needed

5. Further Funding Other organizations
World Bank, International Monetary Fund
Regional banks (ex. European Central Bank)
Regional groups (ex. Organization of American States)
Other groups (ex. Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, UN Foundation)

6. Using the Private Sector
Refer to multinational corporations, particularly those who would be interested in the cause and be able to assist in funding/executing the plan
Possibly encourage countries to provide tax incentives to companies (within their borders) that provide funding/labor for the plan or help spread awareness
DO NOT propose this if your country is financially unstable or has many loopholes in the tax system (ex. Latin America)
Possible alternative: Priority in government contracts

7. Non-Governmental Organizations
Example of use: Third World Network (an NGO) works with the UN Conference on Trade and Development
They receive money from policy-making organizations/foundations, the private sector, and voluntary donations
However, most NGOs are not strong/rich enough to fund plans
They execute programs
Perform services
Let citizens know about initiative

8. Executing Specific Plans
Committees themselves (usually) cannot physically accomplish the plans; they have neither the manpower nor the jurisdiction
Acquire labor to carry out action by inviting:
Intergovernmental organizations
Semiofficial organizations
Related NGOs
Governmental branches that would be interested in the cause
Non-governmental agencies

9. Executing Specific Plans
Encourage the aforementioned organizations to spread awareness about the cause and the plan via:
Social media
Community outreach
Pop culture
Encourage states to establish education curriculums about the cause (if applicable as a solution)
Design a guideline
Be specific in your details: What are the key points for the curriculum? Primary or secondary schools? Etc.

10. Keep in Mind Be aware of national sovereignty
Be knowledgeable of where action can take place
Most committees cannot require countries to do something
Use the verb “encourage” in your operative clauses
The committee cannot call for any military action
Exceptions: Security Council, most historical/crisis committees, etc.
Remember: Not every country has the means, or even the desire, to participate in the plan

11. Also Keep in Mind
DO NOT be tempted to create another committee or organization to achieve the purpose
Creating another organization can be more expensive than pursuing a project within an organization
Delegates often fall into this trap
Utilize organizations that already exist!

13. How To Put This On Paper
Address specific organizations and other groups in the operative clauses
Ex. “Requests funding from [group name] in order to implement [actual plan]”
Mention allocation of resources other than money as well
Ex. “Invites [group name] to allot a set of volunteers/physical objects/staff/financial resources to monitor/execute [actual plan]”
