Abstract
A draft resolution or other proposed conference decision on which all are in agreement can be adopted unanimously, or indeed, if the agreement is not only general but also enthusiastic, ‘by acclamation’. Often, however, there is a range of views and perspectives and less than full agreement to whatever is originally proposed. In such cases a conference needs ways of reaching a decision, despite the absence of unanimity.
