RULES OF PROCEDURE
Introductory Remarks
1. Powers of the Chair - The chair reserves the right to take whatever measures deemed necessary in order to ensure decorum. The president and officers make all decisions regarding motions, amendments, questions, etc. The Chair also has the right to impose warnings whenever a delegate consistently violates the principles of diplomacy or good conduct. 2. Staff - The staff, consists mainly of the Press Committee, Logistics Committee (including Security Body), Academic Committee and Executive branch of the Conference, is committed to the well-being of the delegates and, apart from its own particular functions, assists all participants of the conference in whichever need they might have. 3. Delegations - Each delegation will have a predetermined number of students, with one representative in each committee in which they have a seat. 4. Courtesy - Along with respect for the authority of the chair, delegates must be courteous to staff and other delegates. 5. DisciplineThree (3) warnings account for one temporary expulsion from the Room for a determined amount of time. Two expulsions of the room account for an internal Suspension (the delegate remains in the Conference but has his/her country lose voting rights and will just hold observer status for one day, in which it is mandatory to attend). Three expulsions account for an external suspension (expelled for one day) and if the delegate commits any fault on the day after the suspension, he or she is immediately expelled from the Conference. This is concerning minor infractions. In cases of a serious infraction, measures may vary. (See Discipline) 6. Dress Code- All delegates are expected to wear professional business attire during committee sessions. (See Dress Code)
Substance and Procedure a substantive matter is herein defined as a resolution, convention, protocol or amendment. A procedural vote is one which decides a procedural matter.

RULES OF PROCEDURE
Points
Note: Whether points are interruptible or not is stated in a chart on Page 12. However, no point may interrupt the Chair. Interruptible applies only to delegates speeches. 1. Point of Personal Privilege - If a delegate experiences personal discomfort that constitutes a hindrance to following the proceedings, he/she may request a point of personal privilege. (This might include items such as noise, distractions, etc.) 2. Point of Parliamentary Inquiry - This is designed to allow a delegate to call to the attention of the chair as to correct or explain parliamentary procedure. This is merely a clarification point and should be used as such. 3. Point of Order - Used to call the committee to immediate decorum. A delegate might make such point when parliamentary procedure is not being followed. 4.Relevancy - A delegate may rise on a point of relevancy during a fellow delegate's speech if the speaker's comments are not relevant to the proceedings. Whenever a delegate goes off the tangent and is CONSISTENTLY and repeatedly touching matters that are out of topic in his statements towards the topic in discussion, another delegate may use this point. Judgment is at the discretion of the chair. 5. Caucusing - A delegate may move to enter a Moderated Caucus, Speakers List, Unmoderated Caucus or Lobby Time when the time is pertinent. They will be accepted into the floor according to the discretion of the Chair. 6. Postponement and Resumption of Debate - In order to debate thoroughly a particular crisis or to discuss other matters, a delegate may move to postpone debate. This is at the discretion of the chair. Similarly, during a postponement, a delegate can move for the debate to resume on the main topic. 7.Division of the Question - After closure of debate on a resolution or an amendment, a delegate may move to have the operative clauses of the resolution or amendment voted upon separately. A vote shall be called upon the way in which to divide the question after which the operative clauses will be voted upon.

Roll Call Votes - The chair calls upon each country and allows each nation to either vote in favor, against, abstain, or pass. Any nation that passes is asked again after the first round of voting. Particularly when their vote seems inconsistent with their foreign policy, a country may request the right to explain their vote. Voting with this rights is done by adding the words with reasons after saying in favor, against or abstain. Countries that are absent will have their votes be counted as abstentions. 3. Reconsideration - Only votes on substantive matters may be reconsidered. A reconsideration motion must be made by a nation that voted on the majority side of the issue. 4. Change in VotesIf for any reason a delegate must change his or her vote after he or she has already declared it in roll call, he or she must wait until the end of the call and wait until the chair makes the final call. If the delegate has not changed his or her vote by the time the presidents declare the voting results, he or she loses the opportunity and may not do it at any other time. At this point, no radical changes from in favor to against or vice versa will be accepted.

Punto de Relevancia Un delegado podr utilizar un punto de relevancia durante el discurso de otro delegado, siempre y cuando los comentarios de este ltimo sean completamente irrelevantes al tema. Cuando un delegado no demuestre la relacin de sus afirmaciones con el tema que se est tratando y consistentemente toque asuntos alejados del inters del comit, otro podr utilizar este punto, a discrecin de la Mesa. 5.

RULES OF PROCEDURE
Important Motions
1. Recess or Adjournment - If the floor is open, a delegate may move to recess or adjourn. The delegates should use their own judgment when asking for a recess or an adjournment. 2. Challenge to the CompetenceA delegate may move to challenge the competence of another delegate whenever he or she considers the delegation in question is in constant and significant violation of the countrys national policies. This violation can be expressed in regular committee debate statements and/or votes in substantive matters. The objective is to have a questionably competent delegation lose its voting privileges, through voting procedures when delegations approve or disapprove the Challenge. The following is the regular conduct, The Challenge must be expressed in the FIRST place to the Chair in a written form. The Chair will give it an initial approval if it considers it is valid and pertinent. The delegate being accused will be informed prior to the presentation of the Challenge to the Committee so that the Chair can give him/her an appropriate amount of time to prepare. Prior to voting, both delegations involved (more than 1 may place the Challenge maximum 2) have 1.5 minutes to explain their proofs and arguments. If after voting procedure this delegations incompetence is false according to the committee, then the delegate who made the Challenge loses his/her voting privileges. Special Considerations The Chair may consider a Challenge out of order when there is lack of proof or when the delegate that made the motion has violated in some way the regular conduct stated above. If a delegate is found plotting to obtain other delegates votes prior to official voting, his Challenge will be considered void due to unethical conduct. Also, if any delegate leaves the session to search for proofs against another, this delegations pledge will not be in order, the proofs must be in his/her possession beforehand or searched for in his/her spare time. 3. Tabling a ResolutionWhen a Working Paper is considered to be vague, pointless, or in some way mediocre or not worth spending the Committees time in, it may be tabled through a motion. The motion is voted and the resolution either remains or is left aside of the Agenda. 4. Dividing the Question Sometimes it is needed that the operative phrases in a working paper be voted separately. When this is the case, a delegate may make a motion to divide the question in which he or she must state the way the clauses will be divided. Then, an immediate placards vote will be taken on each point or points, depending on how they are arranged. Finally, following protocol, the resolution will be voted entirely, including pre-ambulatory phrases, through a roll call vote stated in a motion. 5. Considering an Important Question - A resolution may be deemed an important question, thereby requiring a twothirds vote to pass. This request is made of the Chair immediately prior to voting on the resolution. Included in the request must be an explanation of how the resolution fits into one of the following categories required of an important question:| recommendations with respect to the maintenance of international peace and security; the admission of a new member to the United Nations; the suspension of the rights and privileges of membership; the expulsion of a member; and/or budgetary questions. If the Chair determines that the resolution does fall within one or more of the categories, the body shall vote to label the resolution an important question. This vote requires a simple majority.

REGLAS DE PROCEDIMIENTO
Mociones Importantes
1. Receso o Cerrar la Sesin Un delegado podr hacer una mocin para un receso o finalizacin de la Sesin de acuerdo con la pertinencia de los mismos. La mesa podr declararlo fuera de orden de acuerdo a su discrecin. 2. Reto a la Competencia Un delegado puede retar la competencia a otro, cuando el/ella considere que la delegacin en cuestin se encuentra en constante y significativa violacin de las polticas nacionales de su pas. Esta violacin podr ser expresada en afirmaciones dentro del Debate o en votacin de un asunto sustantivo. El objetivo es que un delegado, cuya preparacin es reprochable, pierda sus derechos de votacin mediante el acuerdo del comit. El siguiente es el conducto regular; El reto deber ser comentado a la Mesa en PRIMER lugar. Esta le dar o no aprobacin. El delegado acusado ser notificado del reto previamente a la declaracin del mismo ante el comit, y se le dar tiempo para preparar su defensa. Previo a la votacin, ambas delegaciones (el reto puede efectuarse por mximo 2 delegaciones) tendrn tiempo para dirigirse al comit por 1.5 minutos cada una. Si despus de la votacin el reto se considera invlido por el comit, quien perder el voto ser o sern la(s) delegacin (es) retadoras. Consideraciones Importantes La Mesa Directiva podr considerar un Reto fuera de orden, cuando hay falta de pruebas o cuando el delegado que trae el reto ha violado en alguna forma el Conducto Regular. Si se encuentra que un delegado ha conspirado consiguiendo votos para prevenir que sus propios privilegios de votacin se pierdan por el reto, el mismo ser considerado invlido, dada la conducta poco tica que lo antecedi. Si un delegado abandona la sesin DURANTE el tiempo de comit para buscar pruebas en contra de otro, su peticin no ser aceptada. Las pruebas deben estar en su posesin con anterioridad o buscadas durante su tiempo libre. 3. Entablar una Resolucin Cuando un papel de trabajo no sea considerado completo, pertinente o merecedor del tiempo del comit, se podr hacer una mocin para dejarla a un lado y seguir con el Debate del Comit. 4. Voto por Clusulas A veces se necesita que las frases operativas de un papel de trabajo o enmienda sean votadas de forma separada. Cuando este sea el caso, un delegado podr hacer una mocin para votar por clusulas, en la que el/ella establecer en que forma debern ser divididas. Acto seguido, se tomar un voto por plaquetas o por Lista (que deber establecerse en otra mocin). 5. Considerando un Asunto Importante Un papel de trabajo puede considerarse un asunto importante, y por ende lo suficientemente trascendental como para requerir una mayora de dos tercios para ser aprobado. Esta peticin se le debe pasar por escrito a la Mesa Directiva antes de votar el papel de trabajo. En el escrito, deber establecerse una explicacin del porqu se considera este papel de trabajo un asunto importante. En caso de serlo, debe caber en alguna de las siguientes categoras: Es una recomendacin con respecto al mantenimiento de la paz y seguridad internacionales; Es la admisin de un nuevo miembro a las Naciones Unidas; Es la suspensin de los derechos y privilegios de la membreca de algn Estado; Es la expulsin de un Estado Miembro; y/o Es un asunto presupuestal. Si la Mesa Directiva considera que el papel de trabajo corresponde a alguna de las anteriores categoras, se proceder a tomar un voto de mayora simple donde el comit apruebe que dicho papel de trabajo se convierta en un asunto importante. Luego se votar con mayora de dos tercios, tal y como lo establece la anterior definicin.

RULES OF PROCEDURE
Flow of Debate- The Order of Things
It is sometimes helpful to think of a Model UN conference as if it were a play in which delegates are the actors and Secretariat members are the directors. The storyline of a stage show is similar to what MUNers (see Facciola) call the flow of debate the order in which events proceed during a Model UN conference. Just like scenes in a theatrical performance, debate unfolds in several different parts. The chart below shows the various stages of debate that take place during a Model UN simulation. Being familiar with how the action will proceed, from the first scene to the last, is an important way to prepare yourself for a Model UN conference.
Roll Call
The Chairperson will announce each countrys name. After delegates hear their country, they should answer present.
Formal Debate
Formal debate revolves around the speakers list. The Chair begins by asking all delegates who would like to speak to raise their placards. The Chair then chooses delegates to be placed on the speakers list. A country can only be on the speakers list once, but delegates may add their country again after they have addressed the committee. 1a. When the session begins, speeches focus on stating country positions and offering recommendations for action. 2a. After blocs have met, speeches focus on describing bloc positions to the entire body. 3a. Delegates now make statements describing their ideas to the committee. 4a. Delegates try to garner more support through
Informal Debate
Informal debate is divided into moderated and unmoderated caucuses. During moderated caucuses, the Chair calls on delegates one-by-one so that each can address the committee in short speeches. During unmoderated caucuses, the committee breaks for a temporary recess so that delegates can meet with each other and discuss ideas. 1b. After several countries state their positions, the committee breaks for caucuses (often in blocs for now) to develop regional or group positions. 2b. Writing begins as countries work together to compose draft resolutions. 3b. Countries and groups meet to gather support for specific ideas. 4b. Delegates finalize draft resolutions
Close of Debate Once the speakers list is exhausted, the committee automatically moves to voting. Also, once a delegate feels that his or her countrys position is clear to others and that there are enough draft resolutions on the floor, he or she may make a motion to proceed into voting procedure by moving for the closure of debate. Voting Procedures Once a motion to close debate has been approved, the committee moves into voting procedure. Amendments are voted on first, then resolutions. Once all of the resolutions are voted on, the committee moves to the next topic on the agenda.

RULES OF PROCEDURE
Making Resolutions and Amendments Resolutions must be written by 2 or more (6 maximum) countries. These countries are called Sponsors because they are the ones that propose the solutions stated in the working paper as the most viable. In consequence, they can not vote against it or abstain. If for some reason their opinion changes, they must remove from the Sponsor category anytime during debate. If wanting to ADD as a sponsor during debate, a delegation must send a signed authorization by the sponsors to be included. For the working paper to be presented to the Chair, 1/3 of the Committee must act as Signatory. These countries do not necessarily support the working paper, but rather would like it to be debated and voted. The resolution follows a format like that below. 2 Sponsors are recognized by the chair to read and explain their working paper in front of the Committee. If there are any amendments or changes proposed by the Committee, they must be sent written to the Chair following format 2. When an amendment is read by the Chair, it is voted upon by the Sponsoring countries, and if they support it unanimously it becomes a friendly amendment and thus is immediately part of the working paper. If not, it goes through the vote of the entire committee and (in the case of the SC without veto powers) if approved by the majority of the committee (50% plus one) it becomes a non-friendly amendment and thus part of the working paper. If any sponsoring country feels the non-friendly amendment makes the working paper a statement that his country may no longer support, he or she may remove from the category of Sponsor at THIS time, before the resolution is submitted to vote through an accepted motion. The delegation that sponsors the last amendment to a working paper must vote in favor of the resolution or abstain. Amendments must include such words like (ELIMINATES, CHANGES TO, DELETES, INSTEAD OF, etc). Preambulatory phrases introduce and foreshadow the solutions that will be proposed later in the resolution. They are a chance to state previous considerations and truths that led to the concrete solutions. The operative phrases include the concrete actions that the resolution calls for, how they will be sponsored and detailed explanations on how they will be applied.

PREPARE YOURSELVES
Honorable delegates, you are the essence of every Model United Nations; therefore, it is your preparation what makes of it, either a remarkable or an unsuccessful activity. At this point, you have in your hands the choice of seizing this fruitful opportunity. Are you ready to accept the challenge? If you are willing to, below you will find a series of useful recommendations and helpful guidelines that will accompany you in your journey towards becoming the ideal delegate. STEPS TO BECOME A WELL-ROUNDED DELEGATE STEP 1: Knowing everything about YOUR COUNTRY. Getting to know the background information on your assigned country sometimes involves coming across a broad range of facts that obscure the truly necessary information for your preparation. You should take into account the following questions; they will help you find specific facts that are pertinent. 1.What kind of government does your country have? 2.What types of ideologies (political, religious or other) influence your countrys government? 3.By which domestic issues is your countrys foreign policy influenced? 4.What are some major events in your countrys history? Why are they important? 5.Which ethnicities, religions and languages can be found in your country? 6.Where is your country located and how does its geography affect its political relationships? (Geopolitical importance) 7.Which countries share a border with your country? 8.Which are your countrys allies? 9.Which countries are your countrys enemies? 10.What are the characteristics of your countrys economy? 11.What is your countrys gross domestic product (GDP)? How does this compare to other countries in the world? 12.When did your country become a member of the UN? 13.Does your country belong to any intergovernmental organization outside the UN system such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)? 14.Does your country belong to any regional organizations such as the European Union (EU), the African Union (AU) or the Organization of American States (OAS)? 15.Does your country belong to any trade organizations or agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) or the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)? Do you usually get lost and do not know how to begin researching? Are you one of those delegates who have trouble at the moment of knowing which word to put in the Google Bar? Check this out. Begin with this: 1. Look up your countrys permanent mission to the UN. http://www.un.int/wcm/content/site/portal/lang/en/home/websites 2. Find your countrys voting records and read speeches on the United Nations Bibliographic System Website. http://unbisnet.un.org 3. Look at the CIA World Factbook for a general overview on your country, and for figures and statistics as well. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html 4. Check the NEWS. (Websites, TV, Newspapers) 5. Read the US State Department report on your country. http://www.state.gov STEP 2: Knowing everything about YOUR TOPIC. For a satisfactory development in every committee, its strongly recommended that each delegate knows enough about their country and topic in order to be able to identify the main issues during the debate and propose viable solutions. 1.What is the main issue? How does it affect your country? 2.What has your country done to solve the issue? 3. What are the various sides in the debate? .4. Which aspects of the issue are most important to your country
27
PREPARE YOURSELVES
5. How will your country attempt to shape the debate at the conference? What are the key issues which your country will try to address and find solutions in the committee? 6. What arguments will other countries have? 7. What are the positions of the key actors in the issue? 8. How do the positions of other countries affect your countrys position? 9. f your country is associated with a regional bloc, what is the blocs position on the topic? Are these policies in line with, or do they stand in opposition to, your national policies on the problem? 10.Is there evidence or statistics that might help to back up your countrys position? Take these tips into account too: 1. Look at the NEWS! 2. Take a look at the UN Economic and Social Development page, which has an index to some important issues as well as a list of UN agencies that work in various issue-areas. Also, through the United Nations Documentation Center you can find resolutions and voting records from the current and previous years. http://www.un.org/en/documents/ index.shtml 3. NGOs are an important part of the UN system, in part due to the valuable research and information they generate. Look for NGOs that address your topic. 4. Read academic publications! Although they can be complex, they provide in-depth information on many issues. STEP 3: Knowing everything about the UN. You are in a simulation of the United Nations; therefore, it is utterly necessary to have an ample knowledge on the system and its actions on the topic that will be discussed. 1. United Nations structure. 2. Members of the United Nations and its bodies. 3. Recent UN actions on the issue. 4. The factors that resulted in the success or failure of the previous actions of the UN. 5. Conferences and meetings held regarding the issue. STEP 4: Knowing how to FIND IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
