Official Language

The official language of Alexmun 2022 is English, with the exception of the Spanish
language committees, if any delegate is caught speaking any other language in the
debate they will be subject to a warning, this includes diplomatic notes and
conversation during the unmoderated caucus.

Conduct

- All delegates are requested to maintain a respectful and diplomatic posture,

this behavior extends not only to debate sessions but also to breaks and
ceremonies.

- The use of offensive comments or acts will have a zero-tolerance policy,

resulting in immediate expulsion from the model.

- It is strictly requested to use the selected pronouns of each delegate, if any

fault is found in the first incidence, a warning will be given, in the second
reoccurrence, it will be used as a reprimand suspension of the debate and as
the last instance the expulsion of the model.

- Using the incorrect pronouns accidentally is not the same as purposefully

attacking someone's identity. Still, we ask you to do your best in respecting
others in order to maintain a diplomatic and respectful environment.

aggression, towards a delegation during the debate.
