The Council on Resolutions meets online every year to vote on proposed resolutions and urgent enactments. Resolutions are requests to the Rotary International Board or the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation to take an action that is outside the purview of Rotary’s constitutional documents. Ideally, a resolution should affect the Rotary world, rather than address local or administrative issues.
Representatives from all Rotary districts vote on resolutions proposed by clubs, districts, the RI Board, and the general council or conference of RIBI. Adopted resolutions are then considered by the RI Board or The Rotary Foundation Trustees.
Here are the resolutions approved by the Council on Resolutions on October 31, 2025:
