General Principles
1. No electronics devices will be allowed within the committee except for allocated drafting
timings.
2. Delegates are expected to maintain a respectable conduct with their fellow delegates as
well as all dais members.
3. We have a zero tolerance policy towards any harassment, bullying, assault and violence.
The executive council, secretariat and the directorate will not excuse any violations of
this policy.
4. Within this committee your behavior in the unmod should mirror your position as a
diplomat, you should not be seen using intimidation tactics, fear mongering or causing
nuisance to make your point.
5. The dais will evaluate delegates on four principles: content, style, diplomacy and
unmoderated caucuses.
6. While rhetoric is appreciated, it will not hold immense weightage in the metrics of this
committee.
 7. Chits will be entertained, as long as they don’t disrupt the decorum of the committee.
8. Motions for a Round Robin or Consultation of the whole will be allowed if they are a
requirement of the committee, however the dais reserves the right to dismiss them.

Drafting

1. All formatting and drafting should be done within unmods, any drafting done outside the
committee will make that document null and void.
2. All drafting i.e. working papers or the draft resolution, should be done on Google Docs,
with a member of the dais having access to it. Any documents submitted outside these
bounds will be considered null.
3. Draft Resolutions should follow the format of Harvard MUN rules of procedure.
4. The dais maintains the discretion to dismiss a resolution if it does not meet the criteria
for an admissible resolution or includes content which has not been discussed in the
committee.
5. The Resolutions must not include authors or sponsors rather only signatories.
6. All documents must be below 20% in plagiarism checks.
7. Members of the dais reserve the right to access the history of the documents to check
whether documents submitted are in accordance to the rules of drafting.

Working Papers

1. Delegates are required to draft a working paper at the end of each session to highlight the
proceedings of the session and present this paper in the next session.
(E.g. draft a working paper at the end of Committee Session 1 and present it at the start of
Committee Session 2 and so on.)
2. The delegates will be allowed 15/20 minute unmoderated caucuses at the end of each
session for the drafting of these working papers.
3. Working papers will be introduced to the committee and will not be voted upon.
 Position Papers

1. Delegates are required to email or give in their position papers before the first session
ends, any submission after this point will not be entertained.
2. The position paper holds 10% weightage within the committee for each delegate.
3. The dais does not expect a set format for a position paper however it should preferably
include the country, the stance on the topic and the course of action the delegate wishes
to take within the document.
4. The delegates are required to submit two separate position papers, one for each topic
area.

Selection of Agenda

1. After the motions for roll call and commencement of debate the dais will look towards a
motion to set the Primary Speakers List.
2. This list will have three speakers for the topic and three speakers against the topic.
3. After the Primary Speakers List, one topic will be voted upon. If this topic does not pass,
the second topic will automatically be set as the agenda.
4. The voting to the set the agenda will therefore only take place once.
