What is a “Resolution”?

Resolutions are adopted at a Conference, Assembly, Council and reflect the decision of Member StatesResolution is not an instrument of the Union but contains guiding principles (instructions) RecommendationsResolutions invite MS & SM* to react, instruct SG and Bureau to implement the decisions of MS, invite Secretary General to act on certain areas, etcResolutions guide activities in ITU-T

* Member States & Sector Members

activities and the use of ITU logo

Relation with SGs activities– Better coordination and joint meetings during collocated

meetings, avoid duplication– Take into account the requirements of developing countries – SGs to address service definition, regulatory and infrastructure
