TENNESSEE YMCA MODEL UNITED NATIONS RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

I: General Rules

A. AGENDA – The agenda of the General Assembly is drawn up by the Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) and shall be regarded as adopted at the beginning of the session. There shall be no revisions or additions to the agenda without approval of the CCE staff.

B. OFFICERS: the President of the General Assembly and the Vice-Presidents shall be the presiding officers of the General Assembly and its Plenary session. Other conference officers or delegates may be called on to preside over committee sessions as directed by the CCE staff.

C. RESPONSIBILITIES OF OFFICERS: a. Declare the opening and closing of each plenary session. b. Moderate the discussion in plenary session. c. Uphold these rules of procedure. d. Uphold the expectations set forth in the Officer Code of Conduct.

D. LANGUAGES – All sessions shall be conducted in English. Any participant wishing to address the session in another language may do so, provided he/she brings his/her own interpreter.

E. QUORUM: Two-thirds (67%) of the assigned delegates shall constitute a quorum of the General Assemblies, Plenary session, and committees. A quorum must be present for any session to conduct the business on its agenda.

F. DECORUM: All delegates are expected to maintain decorum, i.e. appropriate behavior, during all sessions. Delegates behaving inappropriately are subject to disciplinary action by presiding officers and the CCE staff. The Delegate Code of Conduct defines further expectations for appropriate delegate behavior.

II. General Assembly (GA) sessions:

A. Docket: the docket for GA sessions shall be determined by the CCE staff based on rankings of resolutions by committees. The docket for each GA session is only amended in extraordinary circumstances with the permission of the CCE staff and presiding officers (the chairs). Delegates who wish to amend the docket (i.e. reschedule the debate on a resolution) should bring their concerns to the presiding officers before moving to amend the docket.

19

Page 20: Afghanistan Albania Algeria Andorra Angola Antigua & Barbuda Argentina Armenia Australia Austria Azerbaijan Bahamas Bahrain Bangladesh Barbados Belarus Belgium Belize Benin Bhutan

B. Resolutions: a. The content of resolutions should conform to the expectations laid out by

the CCE staff in the Delegate Manual. b. Resolutions may only be amended during GA committee sessions.

C. Presentations: a. The patrons of each resolution are responsible for presenting their

resolution to the GA according to the rules of procedure and decorum and the format for debate. Only GA delegates can present resolutions to the GA.

b. Patrons should not use props of any kind during their presentations or the debate on their resolutions.

c. Patrons may invoke Patron’s Rights only when a speaker in debate has offered factually incorrect information about the text of their resolution. Patron’s Rights allows the patrons ten seconds of uninterrupted speaking time to correct the factual error. Patrons must wait until the speaker has concluded their remarks before exercising these rights.

D. Debate: a. GA Delegates may speak when recognized by the chair. Delegates’ remarks

must be relevant to the items on the agenda at any given time. b. Once recognized, delegates must identify themselves to the session with

their name and the country they represent. c. Delegates recognized as speakers in debate have the right to do two of the

following things with their speaker’s time. Speakers must inform the chair of their intentions before continuing to:

i. Address the floor/session ii. Ask the patrons of the resolution a series of questions iii. Yield the remainder of their time to another delegate in the session iv. Make a motion. Motions should be made after one of the previous

actions. d. Speaker’s time: unless otherwise indicated by the chair, each speaker shall

have two minutes to address the floor. Speakers who have been yielded time by another delegate may not yield any further time. Unused speakers’ time shall be yielded to the chair.

E. Intent Speeches: delegates and members of the Secretariat may submit intent speeches during debate on resolutions during GA and the Plenary sessions.

a. Intent speeches are limited to 2 minutes and are delivered between the end of technical questions on the resolution and the beginning of debate on the resolution.

b. Intent speeches may only address the floor/session; intent speakers must identify themselves and request permission to address the floor.

c. Intent speakers may not yield their time to another delegate, ask the patrons questions, or make a motion.

d. Intent speeches do not count as rounds of debate. e. Delegates may only deliver one intent speech during the conference.

20

Page 21: Afghanistan Albania Algeria Andorra Angola Antigua & Barbuda Argentina Armenia Australia Austria Azerbaijan Bahamas Bahrain Bangladesh Barbados Belarus Belgium Belize Benin Bhutan

F. Voting: a. When voting on GA resolutions, each delegation has one vote, including the

delegation presenting the resolution. GA resolutions pass with a simple majority, i.e. more ‘ayes’ than ‘nays.’

b. Delegations may abstain on resolutions only when the abstention follows current policy positions of their government.

c. When voting on all other motions, each delegate has one vote. The majority required is found on the Table of Motions in the resolution book and the Delegate Manual.

d. During voting procedure, delegates may not leave or enter the GA session until the results of the voting have been determined by the chair.

G. Amendments: a. GA Delegates may propose, debate, and vote on amendments only in GA

committees. Amendments require a simple majority to pass. b. Patrons of resolutions may submit simple amendments to their own

resolution before beginning their presentation. Such amendments should not change the nature or intent of the resolution, but make simple corrections. Once they have begun their presentation, patrons may not submit amendments to their own resolution.

c. Any amendments must be written on the appropriate form, be legible, and be germane.

d. Amendments must be recognized by the chair before the final round of debate, i.e. before the chair has recognized the last “pro” speaker for the debate.

e. The patrons of the resolution must declare any amendment “friendly” (if they agree with the proposed amendment) or “unfriendly” (if they disagree).

f. Friendly amendments may be passed without debate through voice acclamation.

g. Unfriendly amendments are debated in the appropriate format. The amendment’s sponsor acts as the patron of the amendment, and the patrons of the resolution have the right to be the first con speaker in the debate.

SCRIPT FOR CCE MUN DEBATE BY TUCKER COWDEN, MHMS *Outside of this guide, consult additional TN YMCA CCE supplements and Robert’s Rules of Order *Script is written with the assumption of more than one patron for the resolution/bill. If there is only one presenting patron, change statements to the singular (i.e. “Does the Patron” instead of “Do the Patrons”).

OVERVIEW Model UN (MUN) debate should be seen in the context of the actual United Nations General Assembly, where delegates speak directly on behalf of the governments of the nations they represent and the items debated are called resolutions. Because of this setting, MUN delegates should know their nation’s stance on important world issues and approach them as that country’s government would (even if the delegates do not agree with that approach). This applies especially to the resolution that you are presenting. It should address not only an issue that the delegates think is important, but one that the country’s government thinks is important and would actually present to the UN. Also, although the event is called “Model UN,” speakers referring to the body should not say that “the Model UN” should do such-and-such. You are to be completely in character, acting as if Model UN were the actual United Nations (so refer to the conference as “the UN” or “the United Nations”).

ASKING TECHNICAL QUESTIONS (after being recognized by the chair) Speaker: [States Name, States Country, States One Question (must be one that merits a response of yes, no, a number, a definition, or a short, expository rather than persuasive answer) (the question is directed to the presenting delegates)]

CON/PRO DEBATE (after being recognized) *Delegates may take one or two of the three actions listed below (ask questions, speak to the floor, yield time to another delegate), but may not only yield time to another delegate (you can only ask questions or only speak, but cannot only yield time). Speaker: (States Name, States Country) and…

23

Page 24: Afghanistan Albania Algeria Andorra Angola Antigua & Barbuda Argentina Armenia Australia Austria Azerbaijan Bahamas Bahrain Bangladesh Barbados Belarus Belgium Belize Benin Bhutan

• To Ask A Series of Questions Speaker: Do the Patrons yield to a possible series of questions? (Not: “a series of possible questions,” or “a question.”) Chair: They do so yield Speaker: (To Patrons) (Asks Questions and receives answers for up to two minutes, depending on the committee/GA/plenary’s time structure). *It is important to note that questions asked as a Con speech should seek to criticize, or at least show skepticism for, the given resolution. Those asked as a Pro speech should do the opposite, emphasizing the positive aspects of the resolution. • To Address the Assembly Speaker: May I address the floor? Chair: That is your right. Speaker: (Speaks to fellow delegates, not the patrons, for the allotted amount of time either in favor of (pro speech) or against (con speech) the resolution). *You should never use the words “Con” or “Pro” in your speech unless referring to “a previous con speaker,” etc. Con and Pro are not nouns or verbs that can be used to show your support or dislike of a resolution (so do not say “I con this resolution”). • To Yield Remaining time after one of the above to a fellow delegate: Speaker: May I yield the remainder of my time to a fellow delegate? Chair: That is your right. Please specify a delegate. Speaker: [Names the delegate to be yielded to (refer to him/her by country] (Takes first action) *Delegates being yielded to should have the same opinion (pro or con) on the resolution as the speakers that yield to them. MOTIONS (must be made before the last con speech) Speaker: (Shouts) Motion! Chair: Rise and state your motion. Speaker: (States Name, States Country, States Motion—see table of motions in delegate manual) Chair: [Takes it from there (decides if the motion is in order or not, asks for a second to the motion, and conducts a vote, usually by voice acclamation)]
