Portuguese term or phrase: Deliberação
Is it ok to translate "deliberação" for "deliberation" in the context below? I don't see why not but I have heard some objection.

Deliberação: ato praticado por órgãos colegiados de decidir sobre uma questão pautada. A deliberação consiste na votação da matéria. (Glossário Legislativo)
Maria Iracema Martin

English translation:deliberation
Explanation:
From https://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?typed=deliberation&t...

n. the act of considering, discussing and, hopefully, reaching a conclusion, such as a jury's discussions, voting and decision-making.

Resolution


Explanation:
Deliberação: (...) a decisão ou resolução tomada pelas entidades coletivas, nas quais, por maioria de votos das pessoas físicas que a integram, se tem a deliberação como tomada.

Vocabulário Jurídico, De Plácido e Silva, 28ª Edição, pág. 429.

In English, a deliberation is a decision taken after careful consideration, normally in a formal context, but without the detailed meaning of deliberação, infra.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/delibera...

However:

Resolution: an official decision that is made after a group or organization has voted.
