Tight security measures will be implemented during the days of the conference. Delegates who do not act in accordance with the security measures will be removed from the conference premises.

Delegates are responsible for their own trash. After adjournment of committee sessions, each delegate must ensure his/her area is clean before leaving the committee room. 

Delegates will be held responsible for noted vandalism and damage that occurs in the committee rooms and property they use.

Delegates are encouraged to take measures to maintain personal hygiene during the 3 days of conference and to not subject to any discomfiture any other delegates around you by your habits and practices.

We believe that being clean and proper reflects the strength of a delegates personality and hence encourages the same.

Any delegate caught in possession of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs will be barred from the conference immediately without any further questioning following which necessary legal action will be taken.

Delegates must respect the sanctity of meeting rooms. Furniture, fixtures should not be misused. Delegates found writing on tables or chairs shall be directed to leave the conference immediately. Delegates must not bring food inside the committee rooms.

 

- NO PRE-WRITTEN DRAFT-RESOLUTIONS WILL BE PERMITTED

Delegates are encouraged to engage in thorough preparation concerning the topic(s) being considered by their respective committees and prepare their own documents regarding areas of concern, plans of action or of debate. However, working papers and draft resolutions are to be negotiated and written in a collaborative fashion by delegates only during the conference itself. No pre-written draft reso-lutions are permitted.

Faculty Advisors and Delegates must be informed that consistency is a key factor that will be taken into consideration when issuing certificates for participants. It is mandatory that a delegate attends all of the sessions on conference dates. Any student failing to do so will not receive a certification of participation. Such a delegate will not be eligible for awards. No requests for exceptions will be entertained to maintain fairness in conference administration.

 

- AUTHORITY

Delegates must scrupulously follow guidelines, directives, instructions etc. provided beforehand.

Adherence to the Conference Schedule is not liable to interpretation and it is each participant's individual responsibility to ensure the same.

 

- DECORUM

Delegates must respect and maintain the decorum of the committee during formal as well as informal debate. Any kind of indiscipline or undiplomatic behaviour shall not be tolerated, and the Executive Board or the Senior Secretariat's decision in response to the same will be final and binding. Participants (EB members and delegates alike) are not permitted to leave the school premises at any time during the conference.

 

- DRESS CODE

As a general rule, Delegates must be appropriately dressed in Western Business attire or ethnic dresses of their respective committees/countries. This is to be ensured by the Secretariat.

- GENERAL POWERS OF THE COMMITTEE STAFF

   i) The Executive Board will be responsible to the Secretariat and Advisor during the conference.
  ii) The Chair will declare the opening and closing of each meeting and may propose the adoption of any procedural motion according to the Rules of Procedure.
  iii) The Chair will direct the flow of formal debate, accord the right to speak, announce decisions, rule on all points and motions and enforce the observance of these rules.

 

- DELEGATE DECORUM

An MUN is meant to be a simulation of the real United Nations. As such, the delegates are expected to act with utmost respect toward each other, as would any actual member of the diplomatic arena. Delegates are to note that during formal, as well as informal debate, they are to speak in third person, and the usage of personal pronouns such as Me, I, My, etc. is prohibited.

Another thing for a delegate to keep in mind is Diplomatic Courtesy. As a representative of a nation, any statement made formally or informally is taken as a statement of that nation itself, if taken on public record. At this point of time, no delegate can afford making any statement, which might be misinterpreted as offensive to another delegate or council member. Utmost respect is extended to the executive board, mutual respect extended to all the delegates and the International Press members, and appreciation for the Administration (Secretariat) of the Conference.

 

- CULTURAL SENSITIVITY

Delegates must keep in mind that all conference participants hail from diverse cultures and societies and thus, may have different perspectives of their own.

We request that you keep an open mind throughout conference, appreciate diversity and show due respect to all other participants in every way possible.

 

- OTHER

All delegates are expected to maintain diplomacy even when passing notes and interacting with other delegates during committee session.

The conference staff reserves the right to spot check all notes at all times during session. Inappropriate conduct of this nature during sessions may result in temporary suspension or disqualification of the delegation from awards at the conference. 

 

Note: Refunds are NOT applicable once registered for the conference.
