Today we finished
the final resolution as a committee. We
finished the review using the Vienna Formula and we moved on to the
line-by-line review. In this stage, we learnt how to apply preambular
and operative terms (further, recommends, suggests, ... ).
Committee I
Our Vienna formula
session took very long but we managed to
finish it and moved on to the review where
we went through each line and proposed amendments. If the sponsors
agreed to the amendments, the paragraph was marked 'agreed as
ref ', if not, we opened the floor to informal consultations
with other delegates.
Throughout this
process, I reflected on the importance of time management and
communication skills.
Committee
III
After we had
finished the first line by line review, we realised the need to
shorten the resolution (ours was 24 pages long!). I came up with the
idea that we could segregate the operative paragraphs under their
topics and make one paragraph for each. Soon, everything was
organized and we managed to finish in time.
My greatest learning
was when I had stood up and took charge at
the time when I felt my committee had come to a halt. I applied and
developed my leadership, time management and organisational skills.
