Abstract
Some conferences are not intended to arrive at decisions. They do not go beyond general debate or the exchange of information. Most intergovernmental conferences, however, end with some sort of conclusions or decisions. The procedure by which decisions are taken and the form in which they are cast differ from conference to conference, depending on the objective of the conference, its rules of procedure and traditional practices which may have been formed over the years.
