Levantamento da Sessão

Your explanation confirms that "suspension" is just a break. That seems to be a country-specific usage. As I mentioned earlier, it's not in Roberts' Rules, which are used internationally. 'Adjournment' is the only safe translation.

The rules of the UK House of Commons include the following:
"Power of the Speaker to adjourn House or suspend sitting
In case of grave disorder arising in the House the Speaker may, if he thinks it necessary to do so, adjourn the House without putting any question, or suspend the sitting for a time to be named by him."

Hi Maria Iracema,
I stand by the answer I posted. As far as I know, the only accepted English term in international meetings is 'adjournment'. Though "levantamento" may have limited use in Portuguese, IMO, this should be its proper translation in English.

Muriel, what is you conclusion, please? Would you translate the TU "adjournment of the session"? Thanks.

Under Roberts' Rules, when a session is adjourned, it ends. Unfortunately, the dictionary definitions of "adjourn" and "suspend" are unclear when it comes to running a meeting under Roberts' Rules, which are followed internationally as well as in the United States. The glossary that I cited in my answer is from Canada. In the many international meetings where I have served as a translator or précis writer, the final item on the session's agenda is always "Adjournment." I have never seen or heard of "suspension" of a session in those contexts.

Under Roberts' Rules, there is no such thing as suspending a session, though a search will show that the term is sometimes used to refer to taking a break and resuming the session later. For example, with a board that I serve on which follows Roberts' Rules, we "suspend" the regular session to go into executive session to discuss a sensitive topic, asking everyone else to leave the room. Once the executive session ends, we resume the regular session until the agenda is completed. The final item on the agenda is "Adjournment."

But when a session is suspended, it is also adjourned, since it's not cancelled.

In Spanish, "levantar la sesión" clearly means to adjourn it, not suspend it. From a quick search, I couldn't find much evidence for the Portuguese cognate in any context.
