translate English to French: Of course, consensus is not mandatory, but what would be the value of our draft resolutions then, were we to adopt them by a vote, which would in a way mean that we failed because it would suggest that we were not able to reach agreement?
Naturellement, le consensus n'est pas obligatoire mais à quoi serviraient nos projets de résolution si nous devions les faire adopter par un vote, ce qui serait, en quelque sorte, le constat d'un échec parce que nous n'aurions pas été en mesure de nous entendre?
