Resolutions (commonly abbreviated as UNR for "United Nations Resolution" or "UN Resolution") are United Nations proposals that have reached quorum and are eligible for vote before the General Assembly. Passed resolutions hold the force of law in all current UN member states. Every time a resolution is voted in, member nations receive a notice from the Compliance Ministry, informing them of new laws to bring them into compliance. Only current members are affected by passage, and though leaving the UN doesn't change the effect, it can be reversed through daily issues (or partially reversed if a repeal passes). Nations that join the UN are assumed to have adopted all passed resolutions, even though there is no in-game effect to that nation.

Since Sept. 2004, passed resolutions have been subject to repeal. [1] The repeal process is almost identical to the proposal process, in that a repeal requires approvals from six percent of the Regional Delegates to be voted on by the General Assembly.

The United Nations maintains a list of passed resolutions, but doesn't track failed ones. A partial list of failed UN resolutions can be found in NSwiki's UN Timeline.
