2. Subject


Just as every sentence has a subject, so must every resolution. The subject tells you WHO will be taking the final action -- the committee or body to which the resolution is ultimately submitted. (If the resolution is initially submitted to a subcommittee of a main organ, the main organ will be the subject.)

Example subject:

1. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
or
2. SECURITY COUNCIL,
