Basis : What are MUN ?
// UN real sessions
=> Different committees ( Disarmament, Political , Economical and Social, Environment and
Human Rights ) => Committees present at ISYMUN
=> Understand situation, problem and position of your country in the debate/ global policies. +
MUST follow the chosen country's’ policy
The debate is ruled by two ‘referees’ called ‘Chairs’ who are there to assure the good progress of
the debate.
Progression of a MUN session :
=> Use of PLACARDS to make the voice of your country ( for vote, participation… )
1. Point of Inquiry to the Chair ( ≈ Point of order ) => Questions on where the debate is or about the
rules of the debate
2. Motion to enter Caucus ( Stop the whole debate for a certain amount of time for a new lobby )
3. Motion to table a clause ( Vote for the consideration of a clause ) If +, the clause will be submitted after all the
others for ensuring the quality and the efficiency of the committee
4. Motion to divide the House
=> Motion to the Chair to
make everyone voting ( no cheat ) => Rarely used
I : Lobbying
=> Consists in going around and present your clause ( if you have one ) or finding clause where
your country may agree.
=> Leads to teamwork and participate to the clause by signing it to show your approval
Clauses need signatures !! Several countries may propose their clause together
II : Open debate
=> Presentation of the clause usually on the screen and also presented by the proposer in front
of the other delegates ( one delegate even if it is a collaborative clause )
=> Then the floor is open to amendments ( modification of the clause in front of the
delegations), but also speakers wishing to vote in favor or against the clause.
