Confirm the body and document type before analyzing legal effect.
Common error: A similarly numbered draft or meeting record is a different document.
Completed example
Organization, assembly, resolution, symbols, draft, and study are fictional. The example states no practice or legal effect of the United Nations or any actual international body.
Register Cooperation Organization Assembly Res. 15, TRAIN-RCO/RES/15, operative ¶ 6 (Aug. 22, 2025).
Read the supplied source facts
Fictional packet TRAIN-I85 supplies Resolution 15 adopted by the Assembly of the invented Register Cooperation Organization on August 22, 2025. The adopted document symbol is TRAIN-RCO/RES/15, and operative paragraph 6 concerns a technical study. A draft circulated as TRAIN-RCO/DRAFT/15 contains broader language in paragraph 6. A meeting record with symbol TRAIN-RCO/MTG/15 describes debate but is a different document. The assignment asks what the adopted assembly resolution requests. The packet does not supply a charter analysis or other basis for a broad conclusion about the resolution's legal effect.
Why this works
The organization, adopting body, resolution number, document symbol, date, and paragraph identify the adopted instrument. Preserve the distinction between the assembly and any secretariat or subsidiary body that circulated the draft. Describe the requested technical study in the words and scope of the adopted paragraph, not the broader draft. A meeting record can explain what participants said, but it does not replace the resolution for its final wording. The source card should retain the adoption record and version relationship while treating the legal effect of the instrument as a separate analytical question.
When the facts change
For a discussion of negotiations, cite the draft and meeting record separately with their actual symbols and speaker or paragraph locators. If a later resolution amends the request, identify the later adopting body and exact operative text. Do not assume that a document called resolution has the same effect as a similarly named instrument from another organization or a different body within the same organization.
