For Week 15 of the Diplomacy Program (Regional Parliamentary Diplomacy Program) under the Parliamentary Institute of Cambodia (PIC) of which I am privileged to be a part of as a trainee/fellow, we are taught how to prepare Resolutions for our respective parliaments.
I learned that resolutions in the sphere of international relations are formal documents which “express the positions of an International Organization by calling on its members and sometimes non-member States and other actors to adopt a certain attitude in various fields. All these recommendations are drafted in a non-binding manner; adopting broad or not specifically defined obligations or soft law.”
A resolution has two parts. The first is the preamble or the introductory clauses and the second is the operational clauses which provide for the actual proposals.
For this Week, we have been asked to make a draft of the Preamble portion. I chose the topic on Trade and Innovation as a means to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals 8 and 9 and sustain if not increase economic growth in the region.
