The Tyranny of the Semicolon
Model UN resolutions are, grammatically speaking, a single, massive run-on sentence. Therefore, strict punctuation is the only thing holding the document's structure together. Preambulatory clauses must end in a comma. Operative clauses must end in a semicolon. Sub-clauses require highly specific comma or semicolon usage depending on their structure, and the entire document must end with a single period. A single misplaced punctuation mark technically voids the parliamentary structure of the document.
The Human Error Factor
Expecting a tired delegate, who has been debating for 12 hours straight, to perfectly punctuate a 15-page document during a chaotic unmoderated caucus is unrealistic. Human error is inevitable. Relying on the Chair to manually catch these tiny punctuation errors while simultaneously managing the room is equally prone to failure. Punctuation validation is a task uniquely suited for computational logic, not human eyes.
