Simplifying MUN's

• A Model United Nations (MUN) event is a debating event which is heavily
based off the United Nations and its committees. In an MUN, each delegate
is assigned a country/ personality within committee. The delegate
must represent their country on an agenda that is given for debate.

throughout the world.

preservation and the rights of refugees, the elderly and people with disabilities.
• Pakistan National Assembly (PNA)
The Pakistan National Assembly, although not an official UN body, is a bilingual committee that focuses on the political, social, and economical situation in
Pakistan.
ALLOTMENTS:
• All delegates are given a country and personality for PNA that they must represent.
This means that you must stick strictly to what is written in your country’s laws and
foreign policy, and you cannot give any opinion if it contradicts the stance of your
country.
Placards:
4
In MUN, placards are cards with each country’s name or personality written on
1 1 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 5
them. Delegates use them to show when they want to speak, vote, or make a
motion during the debate.
DIAS:
In MUN, the DIAS is the group of people who manage and guide the committee. FOR
CSKMUN III the dias includes Chair, Committee director (CD), and Assistant
Committee director (ACD).
P O S I T I O N PA P E R
A position paper in a MUN is a concise document that
outlines a country's stance on the assigned topics. It
provides an overview of the country's policies, priorities, 5
and proposed solutions, while highlighting its objectives
1 1 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 5
and motivations. The paper is typically submitted before
the conference to guide delegates in their preparation and
discussions.
GENERAL'S SPEAKERS LIST (GSL)
• The General Speaker’s List (GSL) is a list of delegates who wish to speak
on a particular agenda item. It allows each delegate to express their
country’s position on the topic at hand. This is the first speech that you 6
give in the committee session. It is usually of 90 seconds.

• A Moderated Caucus allows delegates to speak briefly on a specific
subtopic, with the chair recognizing speakers one by one — it’s more
structured and focused. An Unmoderated Caucus is an informal session 7
where delegates can move around, form blocs, and negotiate or draft
1 1 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 5
resolutions.
MOTIONS
Motions are used to direct the debate.
• Motion for roll call
• Motion for commencement/ start of the debate
8
• Motion for the establishment of GSL
1 1 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 5
• Motion for suspension of debates
• Motion for a moderated caucus
• Motion for an unmoderated caucus
• Motion to introduce Draft resolution
• Motion to enter voting procedure
HOW TO RAISE A MOTION:
We will take the mod (subtopic) to be raised as "history and background of the Israel-
Palestine conflict" and we want 15 delegates to speak for 1 minute each.
• To raise it, the dais will ask "Are there any points or motions on the floor?"
• The delegates will raise their placards and the delegate recognized will say "the
delegate of (country) would like to raise a mod to discuss The History and
Background of Israel-Palestine conflict with time parameters 15:1” ( Here 15 9
represents the total time and 1 represents the individual time)
1 1 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 5
• The dias will then have the option to either accept or deny your motion. If it is
in order, it is accepted otherwise it means it has been denied. A total of 3 motions
are accepted before voting.
• Once accepted, it will be voted upon. If more than half the committee raises their
placards, it will pass the voting and debates shall begin. If the motion fails then the
next motion will be voted upon. If all 3 fails, the committee reverts to the GSL.
SPEAKING
• Once the motion has been passed, the dais will recognize speakers. To
be recognized, you have to raise your placard. You will not always be recognized
by the dais, as selection is random. However, the dais will make sure that
everyone is given an equal chance.
• The order of recognition will be written on a whiteboard and with the dais. 10
Delegates will speak for 1 minute turn by turn in which they are able to talk on
1 1 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 5
anything as long as it stays relevant towards the topic.
POINTS
• Point of Parliamentary Inquiry: Used when a delegate is confused
about the rules or procedure. You ask the Chair to clarify how something
works.
• Point of Order: Raised when you think that chair or other members are
not following the correct rules of procedure. It helps keep the debate fair. 11
• Point of Personal Privilege: Used when something affects your
1 1 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 5
comfort or ability to participate, like not hearing the speaker or want to
go outside the committee room.
• Right of Reply: Given when a delegate or their country is insulted
personally or nationally during debate. It allows them to defend
themselves briefly and respectfully .
Bashing:
• Bashing a delegate means to point out a delegate in your speech. For example, if a
delegate makes a false claim or try to hide their true stance, then you can prove
their mistake by mentioning it in your own speech. Simply point it out and give a
supporting fact to show them their mistake.
Blocs:
• Blocs are alliances between the delegate’s countries that have similar stances and 12
same goals. They are formed by the delegates during the unmod given by the dais.
1 1 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 5
Draft resolution:
• A draft resolution in MUN is a formal document that outlines proposed solutions
to the topic being debated. It includes background reasons (preambulatory
clauses) and specific actions (operative clauses). Delegates work together to
write and revise it before it’s debated and voted on in committee.
