Punctuation Rules for MUN Clauses

The Punctuation Checklist:

  • Preambulatory Clauses: Always end with a comma (,).
  • Operative Clauses: Always end with a semicolon (;).
  • Sub-clauses: End with a comma (,) if they are part of a continuous list, or a semicolon (;) if they are distinct independent points.
  • The Final Clause: Only the very last operative clause at the bottom of the entire resolution ends with a period (.).
