• The definite article al is capitalized when it is the first element in a name (including after Mr. or Ms. or other title) and lower-case when it is in the middle; for example Al-Jazeera, Al-Qaida, Mohammed al-Ansari, Mr. Al-Ansari. The same practice applies to el, where used.

Indigenous should be capitalized when referring to cultures, communities, lands, languages, etc., of Indigenous Peoples, e.g.: Indigenous culture in Ecuador, Indigenous languages are dying out. If referring to flora or fauna, lower case should be used.

When they are used, abbreviations and acronyms should always be explained. The name or title should be written out in full the first time it occurs in the main body of a document, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter, the abbreviation may be used in footnotes, figures, tables and boxes. If an abbreviation or acronym first appears in a footnote, figure, table or box, it should be written out in full again the first time it is used in the main body of the document.

Alternatively, if a document contains numerous abbreviations and acronyms, a list may be included after the table of contents or at the end of the document if there is no table of contents. A list of abbreviations and acronyms applies to the main document and to any annexes or attachments to it.

The following updates were made to the entry on Corrigenda and reissues (new language in bold):

Drafting: If a correction consists of a complete sentence phrased like an instruction (i.e. does not contain text for deletion or insertion), normal punctuation is used.

(See also the examples under Corrigendum to withdraw a document or correct a symbol and Corrigendum to replace a table and those for the corner notation and the title under Corrigendum to correct original language, corner notation or title, below.)

The guidance on Repeated references was updated to read:
A reference is given the first time that a source or item is mentioned in the text. In resolutions, a reference is given once only, the first time that an item is mentioned, whether in the preamble or in the operative part. Once a reference has been given, it is repeated only when necessary for the sake of clarity or to change a specific element in the reference, such as a section or paragraph number.

A. Repeated footnote references
In a change from past practice, numbered footnote indicators are no longer repeated in resolutions. When a reference must be repeated, a new footnote with the identical text should be inserted.

Repeated footnote indicators may be used in explanatory footnotes.

II. General instructions on footnotes and text notes

C. Excessive referencing

In resolutions, an item is referenced once only, the first time that it is mentioned, whether in the preamble or the operative part. When it is necessary to repeat a reference, a new footnote should be inserted.

The entry on commas was updated as follows:
Commas in pairs

          When a non-restrictive relative clause comes in the middle of a sentence, it is marked off by a comma at each end. It is also important to use commas in pairs in other parenthetical constructions:

          Not "In article 4, paragraph 6 (a) of the Convention..."

          But "In article 4, paragraph 6 (a), of the Convention..." [Note too that, in English, brackets are used in pairs "(a)", even where a single closing bracket is used in another language "a)".]

          Not "The court, while preserving its independence should perform..."

          But " The court, while preserving its independence, should perform..."

          Not "... submit to the Committee for its information, a report on..."

          But "... submit to the Committee, for its information, a report on..."

          Not "At its 42nd meeting on 18 January 1996, the Committee had decided..."

          But "At its 42nd meeting, on 18 January 1996, the Committee had decided..."

The guidance on attachments was updated to read:
The order of attachments is as follows: annex, enclosure, attachment. The heading “Enclosure” should be used for material that is separate from but attached to an annex; the heading “Attachment” is used for material that is separate from but attached to an enclosure. The heading “Appendix” should generally be avoided.
