“Present” “Present and Voting” “Absten”

“Present” 純屬表態出席參與會議。

“Present and Voting”

表態出席參與同時也會進行投票，比“Present”還多了一個

必須投票的強迫性。

“Absten” 表態將會在這場會議中，無任何立場決議。強烈非常不建議使用，除非是最終決議時。

Delegates who respond “present and voting” can only cast “yes” or “no” votes during substantive votes on : Draft Resolution, Unfriendly Amendment, and 2nd vote on Division of Question.

A substantive vote is a vote on a draft resolution oramendment already on the floor during voting bloc. Only member states (not observer states or non-governmental organizations) may vote on substantive issues.Bloc: A group of countries in a similar geographical region or with a similar opinion on a particular topic. Blocs typically vote together.

實質投票權：可運用在DR或是修正案的決議。

During voting bloc, delegates may motion to vote on certain clauses of a resolution separately, so that only the clauses that are passed become part of the final resolution. This is known as division of the question.

界定問題：代表們可以提一個Motion去界定本次開會的問題。可選擇本次討論的Topic，或是對於某些疑慮的定義界定等等。

If the committee fails to reach a decision about the agenda by the end of the first session, the Chair will set the agenda according to its original order.

界定討論議程：

每個委員會通常會有兩個議題Topic A or B。而此階段要討論出要討論的議程，也就是Topic A or B的討論先後順序。

如果在第一個session結束前，大家還沒確定先後順序，主席將會直接根據原本A在前B在後的順序，強行確立。

• Motion

• Point



No delegation shall interrupt the voting except on a Point of Order

Relevant motions that can be made during voting procedure and prior to votes on draft resolutions, by precedence, include:

1. Reorder Draft Resolutions

2. Division of Question

3. Adoption by Consensus

4. Roll-Call Vote

Setting the sequence of draft resolutions that are going to be voted.

A motion to reorder draft resolutions will only be in order after entering voting procedure, and before voting has started on any draft resolution;


A motion to divide the question, proposing that one or parts of the operative clauses of a draft resolution be voted on separately, is in order immediately prior to voting on the draft resolution.

This motion requires a second and a majority vote for passage;

If there are calls for multiple divisions, those shall be voted upon in an order set by the Chair where the most radical division will be voted upon first;

The first vote : procedural vote,

whether or not to consider the clause(s) separately,

two delegations may speak for the motion and two speak against,

The second vote: substantive vote

whether or not to accept the clause(s) separated by the procedural motion;

if it passes, the clause(s) become an annex to the original resolution; if the substantive vote fails, the separated clause(s) are permanently discarded;

Delegations may vote “yes,” “no” or “abstain” by signifying placards.

Passage for an amendment or a draft resolution requires majority of the members casting “yes” votes on the document.

If there is an equal division between “yes” and “no” votes, the document fails.

The adoption of draft resolutions and amendments by consensus is desirable when it contributes to the effective and lasting settlement of difference, thus strengthening the authority of the United Nations.
