UN Timeline
The official chronology of the United Nations only makes note of the passage of resolutions. There is no official UN record of failed resolutions or proposals that had achieved enough delegate endorsements in the UN proposal queue to be voted on that were removed from the queue prior to reaching the UN floor. Several UN resolutions that did pass have also been purposefully or accidentally deleted from the official record of adopted UN resolutions. Typically, deleted resolutions or proposals violated the UN rules (or game mechanics). The following list is a chronology, assembled by meticulous study of forum topics past and the recollections of UN members and observers.
Since game time tends to be somewhat fluid, this list has been indexed into annual quarters. The numbers express the 'official' chronology, with other important events inserted where appropriate. All of 2002 and much of early 2003 is no longer available in the forums, so your assistance is especially welcome in upgrading that portion of the Timeline.
