• Fun!
Who are the different people involved in a
MUN conference?
• Chairs

• Keep time
• Rules on points and motions
• Delegates
• You - student acting as a
representative of another member-state

to another or to the dais, count votes and help the
chairs out with all sorts of things
What exactly do you do in a MUN
conference?
• Lobby

issue and make a resolution
• Debate

Return to Speaker’s
List
Voting Procedures
Set the agenda
Speaker’s List
 One delegation speaks for a
predetermined amount of time
 Yield time to the chair (no questions)
or to the floor (questions)
 Useful for laying out your country’s
position on an issue or describing a
course of action
Moderated Caucus
 Delegates speak in turn for short
periods of time
 You must be recognized by the chair
to speak
 Quicker than the speaker’s list, but
more structured than an unmoderated
caucus
Unmoderated Caucus
 Delegates talk amongst one another
freely for a specified amount of time
 Usually 5-10 minutes
 The chair is not involved in the
discussion at all
 Useful for writing draft resolutions or
negotiating intensely with other
delegates
Voting procedures
 Voting procedures are entered when a
committee is ready to vote on draft
resolutions
 A draft resolution must be “introduced”
through a motion before it can be
voted upon in voting procedures
 After voting procedures, the committee
moves on to the next topic
Points and Motions
 Motions are used to direct debate
 Motion to open the speaker’s list
 Motion for a moderated caucus
 Motion for an unmoderated caucus
 Motion to introduce a draft resolution
 Motion to enter voting procedures
 Motions must be voted on by the
committee and typically require a
majority vote
Points and Motions
 Points are used to ask questions
 Point of order – if any person is speaking
wrong information you can correct it
 Point of inquiry—ask a question about
parliamentary procedure
 Point of personal privilege—ask to go
to the bathroom
 Point of information—ask the speaker
a question
 Points aren’t voted on, but a speaker
can choose not to respond to a point
of information
Resolutions
 Resolutions are made up of
preambulatory and operative clauses
 Preambulatory clauses describe the
situation
 Operative clauses describe the course
of action taken by the committee
Why is Research Important?
• Research is your friend, your best friend.
• Always, always, always do your research
before the conference
• Research helps define positions and views
• Research is used in every part of MUN:

o Resolutions
o Debate
Getting Started…
• What you need to understand first…
o The country you represent
o The topics you will be debating
about
o How to find these things out
 That’s what we are here to show you
You and Your Country
• Then discover your country’s Permanent
Missions to the United Nations
o These are a guide to the goals every
nation of the United Nations should
have…
o This will also contain a country’s
policies dealing with different
situations.
• Finally, you will need to discover you
country’s relations with other nations.
You and Your Country
• A good start is to find information about
your country in general.
o Where is it located, countries it is surrounded
by…
