PRESS TEAM

The BRUMUN Press Team will be working throughout the conference to keep you up to date with unfolding events. The press team will move around and watch out for interesting news stories. It will publish a daily newspaper called BRUMAG and also produce a souvenir highlights film of BRUMUN at the end of the conference. Catch all the heated debates, the interesting gossip and the latest news by following the work of the Press Team.

The newspaper will be published towards the end of each day -and will contain articles about what has been happening around the conference and other features to keep people talking.

The press will have their own space to work in throughout the conference, but their main job is to move about and catch the stories.

The Press Team consists of seventeen students who are assigned to photography, film production, journalism and social media management. They will have to meet strict deadlines every day for collecting stories, editing articles and getting the paper printed.

The team leaders are Katriina Surquin and Laura Bandos.

THE APPROVAL PANEL

One of the big jobs at the start of the conference is to get your resolution accepted by the chair in your room. To do this, you need to first of all write a resolution, get a minimum of five co-submitters (you can find more information on resolutions on the next page) and then bring your resolution to the chair. The chair will either accept the resolution or tell you it needs further work.

Once the chair accepts your resolution, the approval panel becomes very important to you. The approval panel is a panel of teachers involved in BRUMUN who correct and ultimately approve your resolutions. The chair will send your resolution with a ‘Resolution Check Form’ to the approval panel. Every delegate has one of these forms in the conference pack you will receive upon registration. The approval panel will check the formatting and spelling of your draft resolution and return it to the chair who in turn will return it to the delegate if any errors still need to be corrected.

Each draft resolution, once approved by the chair, can be submitted up to three times to the approval panel, each time being sent and returned to the chair – if it is not ready after the third time, the draft resolution will be rejected.


Information Booklet

11

RESOLUTIONS

The basic job of a draft resolution is to propose a solution to a problem that has the potential of working in the real world. It is important to learn how to prepare a draft resolution for MUN because the ultimate goal of each MUN committee is to solve problems in the world by debating these draft resolutions and passing as many of them as possible.

Each delegate will write at least one draft resolution. Your goal is to submit this draft resolution to your committee chair for debate during session. Before the draft resolution is approved for debate, there are a number of steps to go through:

Step 1: You will need to find a minimum of five other countries who support your draft resolution and are prepared to co-submit it with you - you will have time to lobby for support on the first and second days;

Step 2: Once you have met the quota for co-submitters, you must bring your draft resolution to your chair who will tell you if it is up to standard for debate - when approved by the chair, the chair will hand it to admin. staff to bring to the Approval Panel (teachers) who will check the formatting and spelling - they will return it to the chair unapproved if any errors need to be corrected - you collect it from the chair and correct the errors and then repeat the process of handing it to the chair and waiting for the response from the approval committee - your resolution can be submitted up to three times in total, but if it is still unapproved after the third attempt, the Approval Panel will be reject the resolution. If this happens, you need to start working on a new resolution.

Step 3: Once the approval panel passes your draft resolution, the third step is to organise two copies of the resolution – one for the chairperson of your committee and one for the deputy-chairperson - part of the chairperson's job is to read all resolutions and decide whether resolutions are going to be debated or not and in which order they will be debated.

At BRUMUN, the limit for preambulatory clauses is between 6 and 8 - the limit for operative clauses is between 7 and 9 (sub-clauses are allowed).

HOW TO WRITE A RESOLUTION

A resolution has THREE main parts: (a) heading; (b) preambulatory clauses; (c) operative clauses - each of these parts is looked at in the notes below:

(a) Heading

The heading contains five pieces of information: (1) your full committee name (not abbreviated); (2) the topic being discussed; (3) your country name; (4) the names of your co-submitters/co-signatories; (5) then write you committee name in full again and start listing your preambulatory phrases. Example:

FORUM: General Assembly First Committee

QUESTION OF: Sustainable development

SUBMITTER: Brazil

CO-SUBMITTERS:

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FIRST COMMITTEE,

(b) Preambulatory clauses (for the purposes of BRUMUN, the limit for preambulatory clauses is set between 6 and 8)

The preamble of a draft resolution states the reasons for which the committee is addressing the topic. Each clause generally begins with a present participle (-ing) and always ends with a comma.

They may include content such as:

Mentions of statements made by the Secretary-General or a relevant UN body or agency;

Recognition of the efforts of regional or nongovernmental organizations in dealing with the issue;

References to the UN Charter or other applicable legal frameworks;


Information Booklet

13

General statements on the topic in terms of its significance and its impact, Citations of past UN resolutions or treaties on the topic under discussion;

There are many stock phrases which are helpful in constructing preambulatory clauses - the following phrases can be used in both General Assembly and Security Council resolutions:

Accepting that Alarmed by Approving Bearing in mind Believing Commending Contemplating Deeply concerned by Deeply conscious of Deeply convinced of Deeply disturbed by Deeply regretting Desiring Calling upon Acknowledging Emphasizing Affirming Appealing to Asking that Aware of Bearing in mind Believing Calling for

Condemning Congratulating Deploring Expecting Expressing its appreciation Fulfilling Fully aware of Deploring Further deploring Further recalling Guided by Having considered Expressing its satisfaction Fully alarmed by Fully believing that Having considered Having considered further Having examined Having received Keeping in mind Noting with deep concern Noting with satisfaction Noting further

Hoping for Requesting that Observing Realizing Recalling Recognizing Referring to Seeking Taking into consideration Taking note of Viewing with appreciation Welcoming Having heard Having received Having studied Noting with appreciation Noting with approval Noting with regret Pointing out Reminding Strongly affirming Strongly condemning Taking into account

Example of Preambulatory Clause:

Noting with deep concern the 17% increase in HIV/AIDS contraction in sub-Saharan African countries in the past five years,

Phrases which can only be used by the Security Council:

Affirming

Reaffirming

Declaring


Information Booklet

14

(c) Operative clauses (for the purposes of BRUMUN, the limit for operative clauses is set between 7 and 9, however sub-clauses are allowed)

Operative clauses state the solutions which the resolution is proposing to resolve the issue - they should address the issues raised in the preambulatory clauses.

Tip: Usually more details in an operative clause will make it stronger or at least make the idea clearer to other delegates. A simple way to strengthen each operative clause is to answer the “who, what, when, where, why, and how” of each clause with sub-clauses underneath each main operative clause. Again, there are many stock phrases which are helpful in constructing operative clauses for both the General Assembly and the Security Council:

Calls Calls upon Congratulates Considers Deplores Designates Draws the attention Emphasizes Appeals Asks Calls for Commends Encourages Endorses Expresses its appreciation

Expresses its hope Further invites Further proclaims Further reminds Further recommends Further requests Has resolved Notes Proclaims Reaffirms Recommends Regrets Reminds Requests Supports

Takes note of Transmits Trusts Further resolves Hopes Invites Offers Proposes Renews Resolves Seeks Strongly urges Suggests Urges

Example of Operative Clause:

Calls upon developed countries and major pharmaceutical companies to provide low cost medicines for HIV/AIDS to sub-Saharan African countries.

Phrases which can only be used by the Security Council:

Accepts Authorises Declares accordingly Strongly condemns

Affirms Condemns Demands

Approves Confirms Solemnly affirms

RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR BRUMUN

1. Modes of Address:

(a) Before a delegate gives a speech, he or she must first address the chair and the delegates “Distinguished chair, honourable delegates…” (this rule does not apply in the Security Council)

(b) A delegate must always speak in the third person singular (i.e. Germany opposes this resolution because ... /is the delegate aware that ...?) or the first person plural (we believe that ...) - this is because each delegate is not there to represent one person, but a nation.

(c) Once the speech is over and any subsequent points of information have been answered, the delegate must yield the floor back to the chair. This is the only exception when a delegate can refer to himself or herself as 'I' - “I yield the floor back to the chair.”

2. Points and Motions

(a) Point of order - If a mistake is made during debate by either the chair or a delegate concerning the course of debate or running of the committee, it is in order for a delegate to call a point of order for the correct procedure;

(b) Point of Information - If something is unclear during debate, a delegate may ask a question to the chair using a point of information - points of information always concern the resolution or the amendment under discussion;

(c) Point of Parliamentary Inquiry - If a delegate is confused about what to do next, he or she can use a point of parliamentary inquiry to ask the chair a question;

(d) Point of Personal Privilege - this is for situations where a delegate is not able to hear what is being said or there is some other cause of discomfort.

(e) Motion to move into voting procedures - this motion is used if a delegate feels that there is no more to say about the resolution being debated, however debating time has not elapsed yet. It is up to the chair whether this motion is entertained or not;

(f) Motion to extend debating time - when debating time has elapsed, but a delegate feels that the resolution has not been debated long enough, this motion may be used. The chair decides whether it is in order or not (not applicable in Security Council since no times are set for debates in this forum);

(g) Motion to table the resolution - this motion can be used to continue debate on a certain resolution at a later point in time e.g. after lunch or after more research is done on the topic. To table the resolution simply means that the resolution will be put aside for the moment.


Information Booklet

16

3. Course of Debate

(a) The main submitter only reads out the operative clauses of his or her resolution;

(Note for Security Council – The Security Councils do not debate resolutions. A Security Council debate starts with a speech delivered by the President of the Security Council or by the Secretary General on why the issue to be debated is an important one. Thereafter, the President will submit a ‘resolution’ that contains only one preambulatory clause which reads something like “Concerned with the issue of…”. During debate (which is always an open debate) delegates will try to add clauses to the resolution by submitting amendments)

(b) The chair then sets debating time and informs the forum whether it is an open or closed debate;

(c) The main submitter makes his/her speech highlighting the most important operative clauses and explaining the ideas that the resolution contains;

(d) When he or she has finished, he or she will be asked by the chair whether he or she is open to any points of information. He or she can reply in one of three ways:

The delegate is open to all points of information (opens himself or herself to an unlimited number of points of information 'any and all')

The delegate is open to (says a specific number e.g. 3) points of information (opens himself or herself to a limited amount of points of information)

Says that he or she is not open to any points of information

(e) Thereafter the delegate can yield the floor back to the chair or to another delegate.

(f) If the delegate wishes to yield the floor to another delegate (usually a co-submitter of the resolution), that delegate will take the floor and speak on the resolution and have the opportunity to take question. However, the second delegate must yield the floor directly back to the chair once he or she has finished. When the delegate yields the floor back to the chair, the chair can then yield the floor to another delegate. This delegate will then speak on the resolution and again have the opportunity to take questions.

(g) When the debating time for the resolution has elapsed, all delegates vote on the resolution. Delegates can vote for or against, or they can abstain.

(h) In each forum there has to be a simple majority in order to let a resolution/amendment pass. A simple majority means that a resolution passes if there is at least one more vote for than against


Information Booklet

17

(Note for Security Council – the Security Councils do not require a simple majority; they require at least nine of the fifteen votes in favour. Also, a Security Council resolution/amendment always fails if there is at least one veto-vote. A veto-vote is a vote against by one of the permanent members. The permanent members are the United States of America, the United Kingdom, the Russian Federation, France and China. This does not mean that amendments/resolutions can only pass if all permanent members are in favour, it means that they can only pass if no permanent members are against);

4. Amendments

Amendments are proposed changes to the resolution being debated. They may be submitted by delegates at any time during the debate using the delegates’ notepaper. In open debate, amendments may be debated at any time. In closed debate, they are debated during time against the resolution. An amendment can only refer to one clause of the resolution. Also, each clause can be debated only once in a debate, so once an amendment is accepted or rejected on a particular clause, that clause is no longer open for further amendments. If a delegate feels the need to change a clause of an amendment being submitted, he or she can propose an ‘amendment to the amendment’.

If a delegate has submitted an amendment, he or she should raise his or her placard when the chair asks if any delegate wishes to take the floor. If the delegate is called upon, he or she will then take the floor. The delegate now has two options: (a) present the amendment straight away by saying: “the delegate has submitted an amendment” or (b) giving an opinion on a certain operative clause in the resolution and following that by saying: ‘Therefore I propose the following amendment’ - in both cases, the chair will say, ‘that is in order’, and read out the amendment. The chair will then set the debating time on the amendment, which does not count as time on the resolution. The delegate will then have the floor to make a speech about the amendment.

After the debating time for the amendment has elapsed, the voting procedure will take place. Delegates can only vote for or against an amendment. They cannot abstain. Following this, the debate on the resolution and the debating time on the resolution will commence.

5. Notepaper

During the debate, delegates are allowed to pass around notes to communicate with each other. Each delegation is supposed to bring his/her own note paper. The delegates can write their notes on this notepaper which will be passed to whoever it is addressed by the Administrative Staff. The Administrative Staff must first check that the content of the note is conference-related before it is passed to the recipient. If the Administrative Staff believe the note is not conference-related, it can either be thrown away, put in the gossip box or passed to the press team that will publish it on the conference newspaper. To prevent fraud with notepaper, every delegation must bring its own official notepaper. Unofficial notepaper will not be passed on by Administrative Staff. It should have an official letterhead and logo that identifies the delegation's country or organisation.


Information Booklet

18

WRITING AN AMENDMENT

Resolutions are changed through amendments. An amendment is a written statement that adds, deletes or revises an operative clause in a draft resolution. The amendment process is used to strengthen consensus on a resolution by allowing delegates to change certain sections.

1. Writing an amendment:

Imagine that the following clause has been submitted in a resolution, but you disagree with it and want to make a change:

Recommends all Member States to set the age at 5 years old for children to begin primary school

2. Submitting an amendment

An amendment should be submitted when the clause is on the floor (while it is being debated). You can submit it to administration staff to bring to the Chair or when the Chair says that you are in Open Debate and asks if anyone would like to take the floor, you can raise your placard and if selected to speak, tell the Chair you would like to submit an amendment - she will tell you that 'that is in order'. Hand her your amendment proposal that you have prepared.

3. Defending an amendment

Your Chair will read out your proposal for an amendment, after which you have the floor. This is when you must defend your proposal, for example:

'Fellow delegates, Country X believes that sending children to school at the age of 5 is too young; children need more time to play, whether they are at home with their mother or going to pre-school. Five years old is too young to deal with the pressure of learning to read and write – it is too young to be made sit still for so long every day. We believe that the age of 7 is much more appropriate. Thank you.'

At this point, the Chair will ask you if you are open to points of information (questions). After the points of information, you must yield the floor to the Chair and return to your seat.

Amendment Submitted by: Country X Replace “5” with “7” So that the clause would read: “Recommends all Member States to set the age at 7 years old for children to begin primary school”


Information Booklet

19

NOTE PASSING

Writing notes allows you to communicate with other delegates, helps you form alliances and work on resolutions. Use them wisely and effectively.

1. Use your notes for positive reasons - never to put down someone’s policy or to say that someone is incorrect about something. Notes exist to make allies, not enemies, and writing negative notes can ruin the whole diplomatic concept of Model UN.

2. It is perfectly fine to ask questions about something someone said in committee, as long as you don’t write it sarcastically or with an ill-mannered tone. It is even alright to politely write that you disagree with something, as long as you provide some sort of middle ground where you can meet. Do not send notes just to point out problems, always make sure you include a solution.

3. Keep it short: You do not want note writing to become a huge distraction from the actual debate. The goal of a note is not to be for casual conversation. Write your note as quickly as possible and resume participation in debate.

4. Be professional: you are expected to bring your own notepaper with your country flag on it (sample note paper below) - make your note paper look professional - write in print to make it more legible.

5. Keep your notes appropriate: This is really important - inappropriate notes can make the quality of the work of the whole committee suffer. Notes should be solely about the debate in committee - administration staff and teachers will screen notes to ensure that there are no inappropriate notes or notes completely unrelated to committee.

6. Notes must be written in English and may not be passed between committee rooms

7. Inappropriate notes will either be binned or put in a gossip box.

GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL RULES During the conference, alcoholic drinks, smoking and drugs are strictly forbidden. Mobile phones must be switched off and chewing gum is not allowed. DRESS CODE BRUMUN specifies a formal dress code. This dress code is very important and must be respected during the conference.


Information Booklet

20

If a student does not follow the dress code, the student will be removed from the conference for that day. The following day, the student must report to a member of the executive staff to show that they are following the dress code. If the student has failed to follow the dress code again, he or she will be denied access to the conference. IDENTIFICATION CARDS

Every person attending the conference will be given an identification card which must be worn

at all times. If you lose your badge, you will have to obtain a new one from the Conference

Management team for a fee of €5.

PRINTING AND PHOTOCOPYING FACILITIES

Computer and printing facilities for making changes to resolutions will be provided at MAI and EEB2. In both locations, there will be printing facilities and chairs or administration staff will

be able to assist you.
