The United Nations works from a body of International Law. The UN members vote to accept proposals into resolutions, and push for repeals of existing resolutions. Here is the current body of law as accepted by the United Nations.

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, nor of proposals that were removed from the queue prior to reaching the UN floor. Several UN resolutions that did pass have also been purposefully deleted from the official record of adopted UN resolutions. Typically, deleted resolutions or proposals violated the Enodian UN rules or game mechanics.

The following chronology has been 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 2003 (through early September) is no longer available in the forums, so your assistance is especially welcome in upgrading that portion of the Timeline. Additionally, note that official forum topics did not exist until 2004, so earlier resolutions often had many topics to discuss them.
