LEAVE THE CONFERENCE FOR VIOLATION OF RULES, REGULATIONS OR REQUIREMENTS.

THE SECRETARIAT OF BBMUN CONFERENCE 2022 WILL SCRUPULOUSLY ENFORCE THE FOLLOWING CODE OF CONDUCT:

​

 

• ID BADGES

Delegates must wear their Conference Name Badges at all times: that is the only identification recognized by the BBMUN organizing staff and other officials. Badges must be kept visible at all times. SUBSTANCE ABUSE, DRINKING AND SMOKING Any Delegate found in possession of alcohol or illegal substances will be summarily asked to leave the conference. Smoking is strictly prohibited.

​

​​

• DISCRIMINATION OF ANY KIND INCLUDING SEXUAL HARASSMENT

The Bluebells Group of Schools and Conferences meticulously ensure that a proper learning environment is fostered throughout its campuses. Bluebells and BBMUN will not tolerate any instances of discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, age, or disability. If any delegate, staff or adviser believes they have encountered discrimination, which results in a hostile working environment or disparate treatment, they must immediately bring it to the attention of the Secretary-General of the conference, or a senior member of the Secretariat including the Teacher-In-Charges or Advisors.

The Senior Secretariat and the Executive Board of BBMUN will investigate promptly and thoroughly. Based on the findings of the investigation, BBMUN may take no action; or issue a verbal reprimand; or direct the offending individual to leave the conference; or take any other action that is deemed appropriate.

 

​​

• NO PRE-WRITTEN RESOLUTIONS WILL BE PERMITTED

Delegates are encouraged to engage in thorough preparation concerning the topic(s) being considered by their respective committees and prepare their own documents regarding areas of concern, plans of action or of debate. However, working papers and draft resolutions are to be negotiated and written in a collaborative fashion by delegates only during the conference itself. No pre-written draft resolutions are permitted.

 

​

• AUTHORITY

Delegates must scrupulously follow guidelines, directives, instructions, etc. given by any Advisor or Conference Staff member, both inside and outside the committee sessions.
Adherence to the Conference Schedule is not liable to interpretation and it is each participant's individual responsibility to ensure the same.

​

​

• LAPTOPS AND CELL PHONES POLICY

Delegates are NOT allowed to use cell phones during the conference. Use of Laptops will be allowed during the committees; however, the use of the Internet is not allowed at all times during the conference. Each committee's Executive Board will control the use of the Internet by informing the Delegates about the specific timings when it is to be permitted. The school will not be responsible for any lost or stolen property.

​

​

• COMMITTEE ROOMS

MISCELLANEOUS GUIDELINES

 

RULES OF PROCEDURE HANDBOOK DELEGATE ATTIRE

All participants of the conference are required to adhere to the attire given in the Code of Conduct for the duration of the conference.

​

GENERAL POWERS OF THE COMMITTEE STAFF

• The Executive Board will be responsible to the Secretariat and Advisors during the conference.

• The Chair will declare the opening and closing of each meeting and may propose the adoption of any procedural motion according to the Rules of Procedure.

• The Chair will direct the flow of formal debate, accord the right to speak, announce decisions, rule on all points and motions and enforce the observance of these rules.

• The Committee Staff is responsible to the Secretariat at all times.

• The Press Corps are free to publish any material that lies within the scope of this conference. It is advised to refrain from the publication of offensive and derogatory material, especially if targeted at a select group of persons. 

​

DELEGATE DECORUM

A MUN is meant to be a simulation of the real United Nations. As such, the delegates are expected to act with utmost respect toward each other, as would any actual member of the diplomatic arena. Delegates are to note that during formal, as well as informal debate, they are to speak in the third person, and the usage of personal pronouns such as Me, I, My, etc. is prohibited. 

Another thing for a delegate to keep in mind is Diplomatic Courtesy. As a representative of a nation, any statement made formally or informally is taken as a statement of that nation itself, if taken on the public record. At this point of time, no delegate can afford to make any statement, which might be misinterpreted as offensive to another delegate or council member. Utmost respect is extended to the executive board, mutual respect extended to all the delegates and the International Press members, and appreciation for the Administration (Secretariat) of the Conference.
