No revision of position of a team is permitted during the debate.   He who asserts must prove. In order to establish an assertion, the team must support it with enough evidence and logic to convince an intelligent but previously uninformed person that it is more reasonable to believe the assertion than to disbelieve it. Facts must be accurate. Visual materials are permissible, and once introduced, they become available for the opponents' use if desired.   In the questioning period, the questioner may ask any fair, clear question that has a direct bearing on the debate.

The witness must answer the questions without consulting his colleagues.   No new constructive arguments may be introduced in the rebuttal period.

15.Speakers’ List: A speakers’ list is automatically opened and remains open throughout the discussion of the topic area unless committee chooses to move into a moderated caucus or unmoderated caucus. A speakers’ list is a place where a delegate expresses his/her country’s stand on the topic area. The time limit is pre-set to one and a half minute per delegate. At least 20 speakers or the committee size, whichever is low should be exhausted, alphabetically, to move on with the debate.

17.Moderated Caucus: A detailed discussion on a sub-topic of the main agenda is possible in a moderated caucus and the main reason on starting a moderated caucus is to know the committee’s opinion on such an issue. A delegate can motion for a moderated caucus in the following manner, example ‘Motion to open a moderated caucus to discuss ________ for the time duration _________ (max 15 minutes) and time per speaker ________ (maximum 1 minute)’ A motion for a moderated caucus requires a simple majority to pass and can be passed through an informal vote. In case of multiple motions, with 5 being maximum, the chair shall decide on which one to put to vote first. A moderated caucus can be started in the middle of the Speakers’ list i.e. it is not compulsory for the delegates to finish hearing all the speakers on the list. Speakers should be recognised in lots of two. 18.Points: During the course of debate, the following points are in order: a. Point of Personal Privilege: This is the only point that can interrupt a speaker and is used when a delegate cannot hear the speaker or is experiencing discomfort and wishes to be excused from committee b.

Point of Order: This is to point out the procedural inconsistency or deviation from the existing rules of procedure. d. Point of Information: This is a point that helps to clarify any factual inaccuracy in a delegate’s speech.

This point cannot however be used for questioning a change in the country’s policy. The accepted sources of documentation for all committees, organs and special simulations of the United Nations are: Reuters, Amnesty International and any other such credible source approved by the executive board. For Indian/ Regional Bodies the accepted source is dependent on the presiding officer/chair of the committee

20.Unmoderated Caucus: This is when the committee feels the need to discuss or decide upon a particular issue in an informal way.

A delegate can call for an unmoderated caucus in the following manner: Motion to open an unmoderated caucus for [Purpose] for the time duration _________ (max 15 minutes)’ A motion for an unmoderated caucus requires a simple majority to pass and can be passed through an informal vote. This motion can be extended by another 5 minutes for preparing Resolutions/ Declarations and a maximum of 15 minutes are allowed for a working paper. It can be raised for following two reasons: a. Lobbying; b. Preparing a Working Paper, Resolution or Declaration. Page 4 of 10

21.Working Papers: These are the committee’s views on a particular sub-topic of the main agenda at hand. They provide direction to the committee and indicate the way in which committee is flowing. A working paper has no prescribed format and needs no signatories. Before introduction to committee, a working paper needs to be approved of by the Chair. A working paper needs a simple majority to be introduced on the floor of the committee and voting can be carried out in an informal way. In case of multiple working papers, the Chair has the discretion to decide the order in which they are to be put to vote. If a working paper is passed it has to be incorporated in the resolution. The voting on a working paper can be done in an informal way by a show of placards.

22.Resolution: The solution to the entire agenda is called a resolution. A resolution requires a minimum of 1 author and 3 signatories to be introduced to council. This minimum requirement holds true for every council irrespective of the council size. An author is one who formulates the resolution and cannot vote against the resolution, whereas a signatory is a person who simply consents to having the resolution being discussed in council and can exercise his/her vote in the way he/she pleases. In case of multiple resolutions being brought to the Chair at the same time, the one with more number of signatories shall be put to the committee first for voting. A resolution before being introduced requires the prior approval and signature of the chair. The voting on introduction of the resolution for debate can be done in an informal manner however, the voting regarding the passing of the resolution must be done through Indian International Model United Nations formal voting procedure (Rule 33). The resolution also has to be according to the prescribed format mentioned in Annexure I. a. Authors is a person who writes the resolution and structures and ideates over it. He/She has to abide by the resolution. b. Signatories are those who give consent to discuss the resolution in the council. However, a signatory need not vote for a resolution.

23.Amendments:All amendments need to be written and submitted to the executive board. The format for this is authors, signatories and the clause with mentioning the add, delete and replace. There are two forms of amendment, which can be raised by raising a Motion for amendment and approval of the chair: a. Friendly Amendments: An amendment, which is agreed upon by all the author/’s does not require any kind of voting. b. Normal Amendments: Amendments that are introduced by any other need not be voted upon by the council and is directly incorporated in the resolution. You need a simple majority in order to introduce a normal amendment.

24.E-mendments: Any correction of grammatical error or deviation from the prescribed format for procedure writing is called an e-mendment and does not require any voting but a simple approval of the chair. B)EMERGENCY DEBATE: During the emergency debate at an IIMUN or an affiliated conference, the maximum time duration for an emergency should be 3 hours. No observers should be allowed in the committee. Delegates are not allowed to leave the committee during the Emergency Debate. No updates are permitted on the crisis, but a detailed introduction to the crisis is a must. Presidential statements are not allowed during the Emergency.

25.Quorum: At least 1/5th of the member countries that are involved should be present. Page 5 of 10

26.Recognising Speakers: In case there is an emergency situation that arises there will be no speakers’ list and the chair shall recognize up to 5 individuals with compulsory Yields, in the order of involvement, to speak for a time period of a minute each.

27.Moderated Caucus: The chair shall decide upon the topics for the moderated caucus, the time frame and the time per speaker. A maximum of five moderated caucuses are allowed.

28.Points: All points mentioned in Rule 17 except for the point of personal privilege shall be suspended for the duration of the emergency. Also, the mandate of Point of Information has been extended to clarifications in the Emergency Debate.

29.Unmoderated Caucus: There shall only be one unmoderated caucus which should be utilized in formulating the Declaration.

30.Declaration: This is a combination of a working paper and a resolution but is easier and faster. A declaration is also in the same prescribed format as a resolution, as mentioned in Annexure I, and requires 1 author and 3 signatories apart from prior approval from the chair. An informal vote is enough for deciding which declaration to discuss but for passing a declaration a formal voting is required. C) RULES COMMON TO BOTH FORMs OF DEBATE

31.Challenge: This is when a delegate can challenge another delegate over a particular issue for a specified period of time; this may be over a particular sub-topic or country policy. This is one on one debate. A delegate may motion for in the following manner ‘Motion to challenge the delegate/delegation of ______ over _____ (topic area) for a time duration of ____ (maximum 3 minutes).’

32.Question Answer Session: This is when many delegates need to ask questions to a delegate. Any delegate may call for the same and committee can ask a maximum of up to 10 questions to that delegate. In case of questioning the of those members involved in the emergency, a maximum of 2 delegates are allowed to be on the dais to answer questions posed by the committee. To call for the same, a delegate can motion thus: ‘Motion to move into a question answer session with the delegate of ___, total time period ____ (maximum 10 minutes) , total number of questions ___ (maximum of 10 questions)’

33.1 for 1 against: This is when committee usually cannot decide on a particular issue and therefore before the final vote needs to hear both sides of the argument. This can be extended to a 2 for and 2 against. The time limit for each speaker is 1 minute each.

34.Formal Voting: This is required only for passing a resolution or a declaration and takes place in 3 rounds. No observer other than those who have been bestowed the right to vote since their country is directly related to the topic area (Rule 2), member of press or administration staff is allowed to be present during voting. There are 3 rounds of voting: a. Round 1: All delegates have an option between choosing: i. Yes ii. No Page 6 of 10 iii. Yes with rights iv. No with rights v. Abstain vi. Pass. b. Round 2: All delegates that have opted for rights get to justify their positions. This round is entered only if there is yes with rights or a no with rights and a pass. c. Round 3: Delegates have to cast their final vote which cannot change between a yes, no and abstain. A resolution passes if it has a 2/3rd majority Clause-by-Clause Voting: This is applicable only to resolutions and not declarations.
