Grammar
...embargo be imposed ...
Hi all
Could you please check if this is grammatical?
The Security Council (UNSC) first passed Resolution 1566 in July 2004 'deciding' that an arms embargo be imposed on all non-governmental entities.
Thank you

I find it slightly odd to use this form of words with the verb "decide" (I also don't understand why "deciding" is in quotes). It works OK for me with a bunch of other verbs, such as "recommending/suggesting/demanding/requesting/etc. that an arms embargo be imposed".

- I can't quite put my finger on why I should have doubts about "deciding"...
