    RULES AND PROCEDURE

    UNCSW

    GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
    1. Diplomatic Courtesy.
    During committee session, delegates are expected to exercise
    diplomatic courtesy when addressing members of the Committee
    and the Chairpersons. The Chairpersons have the authority to
    address diplomatic warnings to delegates who obviously violate the
    diplomatic courtesy. In case that the delegate’s conduct seriously
    hampers the process within the committee, the Chair reserves the
    right to request his expulsion from the conference room. The
    Organising Committee and the Secretary-General however have the
    final authority on this matter.

    2. Patterns of Formality
    All parties should use formal language. Customs observed by
    delegates: address Chairperson as “mister Chairperson” or “madam
    Chairperson” or “honourable Chair”. Do not use “you”; refer to the
    Chairperson in the third person as “the chair”.

    The competence of the Chairpersons may not be questioned by


    delegates.

    PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE
    I. Roll Call.
    Attendance shall be conducted by the Chairpersons by a Roll Call at
    the beginning of every committee session, after a “Motion to
    Establish Quorum” is introduced. Delegates shall establish their
    presence in the Committee by raising their placards and declaring
    ‘‘Present’’ or “Present and voting”. In the latter case delegates may
    not abstain through the duration of the Committee session. This will
    be followed by the Opening Statements.

    II. General speaker’s list


    The Speaker's List is opened following a Motion from a delegate and
    the subsequent approval by the Board. A Delegation can add its
    country name to the List pending only if it is not already on the List.
    The members will be delivering an opening statement at the start of
    the committee. The default speakers’ time for this will be 60
    seconds can be extended up to 90 seconds.
    After every speech members are obligated to yield the floor back to
    the Executive Board. The Executive Board will then direct the
    members to ask questions. The number of questions to be asked (if
    any) will be decided by the Executive Board depending on the time.
    III. Moderated:
    A moderated session will be a formal discussion which is regulated
    by the Executive Board.
    Points:

    1. Point of Personal Privilege:


     A Representative may rise to a Point of Personal Privilege if a
    matter impairs him/her from participating fully in council activities.
     The Executive Board persons shall try to effectively address the
    source of impairment.
     A Point of Personal Privilege may only interrupt a speaker if the
    Representative speaking is inaudible. Otherwise, the
    Representative rising on the Point of Personal Privilege must wait
    till the end of the speech to raise the Point.

    2. Point of Order
     A Representative may rise to a Point of Order if he finds a factual
    flaw in the speech of the speaker.
     This point may not interrupt a Speaker.
     The Executive Board will rule on the validity of the point
    immediately.
     A Point of Order ruled dilatory by the Executive Board may not be
    appealed.

    3. Point of Parliamentary Inquiry


     A Representative may rise to a Point of Parliamentary Inquiry
    requesting an explanation from the Executive Board on the Rules of
    Procedure.
     This point may not interrupt a Speaker.

    4. Point of Information
     A Representative may rise to a Point of Information if he/she wishes
    to ask a question or clarification to the speaker.
     This point may not interrupt a speaker. This point is only valid at the
    time of the opening statements.
     Right of Reply. A Representative whose personal integrity has been
    impugned by another Delegate’s comments may rise to a Right of
    Reply.
     Disagreement with the content of a Delegate's speech is not
    grounds for a Right of Reply.
     The Executive Board will recognize the Right of Reply at his/her
    discretion as well as decide on how to resolve the motion.
     This point may not interrupt a speaker but should be addressed the
    moment he/she has finished his/her speech.
     Should the Executive Board rule the Right of Reply out of order,
    his/her decision cannot be appealed.
     No Representative may call for a Right of Reply on a Right of Reply.
    IV. Unmoderated:
     A Representative may move for an Unmoderated Session thereby
    suggesting a change from formal to informal debate.
     The Representative who makes this motion must suggest a length
    and justification for the Unmoderated Session.
     The Executive Board may suggest a more appropriate session
    length and put it to vote, or may rule the Unmoderated Session out
    of order without possibility of appeal.
     Once the Motion has passed, the Committee will depart from the
    formal discussion and will carry an informal discussion without
    leaving the conference room.

    WRITTEN DOCUMENTS:
     Position Papers are intended to aid with the work of the Committee
    and to present the viewpoints of the delegates according to the
    foreign policy of their country and the potential solutions to the
    topic.
