Where can I find the co-sponsors of draft resolutions or decisions?

Sponsors and co-sponsors are listed in the draft resolutions.

1. General Assembly - draft resolutions submitted directly to the Plenary

• Sponsors are listed on the draft resolution; sponsors and additional sponsors can be found in the meeting record and in e-deleGATE
• Beginning with the 77th session in 2022, additional sponsors are listed in the meeting record and in e-deleGATE. The Library adds the additional sponsors to the UN Digital Library in the author field of the draft resolution record. 
• Prior to the 77th session, before consideration sponsors were listed in the draft resolution; additional sponsors were listed in the addendum to the original draft resolution.
  • Example: General Assembly Plenary: A/67/L.77 + Add.1
