Heading: Informs the committee and topic, main and co-submitters.

Pre-ambulatory clauses: They state the reason for which the topic is being addressed and highlights past action taken. Each clause beings with a present participle (see list) and ends with a comma. It may include references to the UN Charter, past resolutions, statements made, recognition of efforts made and other generalities.

Each preamble begins with a preambulatory phrase. The clause must meet the following criteria:

Operative Clauses: They state actions that the submitters believe should be taken to resolve the issue. Each clause begins with a verb (see list) and ends with a semicolon. The information must be organised in a logical sequence with each point numbered and containing a single idea or proposal. If further explanation or clarification is required, subclauses with Roman numerals or letter can be used. After the last clauses the resolution ends in either a semicolon or a period. A semicolon indicates that the delegation is open to suggestions or contributions while a period does not.
