UNCSW

The UN Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW) is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women. The CSW is instrumental in promoting women’s rights, documenting the reality of women’s lives throughout the world, and shaping global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women.

UNHRC

The Human Rights Council is both a standing body and the subsidiary body of the General Assembly which was established by the GA resolution of 60/251 from March 18th, 2006.
This Council serves as the main UN forum for dialogue and cooperation regarding human rights and aims at helping its member states meet their human rights obligations through dialogues, capacity building and technical assistance and makes recommendations to the GA for further development of international law in the field of human rights.

The Council consists of 47 members and its membership is open to all member states of UN. Members are elected by the General Assembly through individual and direct voting by an absolute majority of 96 votes. The distribution of seats is in accordance with the equitable geographical representation of all members.

The Council doesn't hold fewer than three sessions per year for a total period of not less than ten weeks. It can, however, convene a special meeting when necessary through a request by a member of the Council with the support of one- third of the membership of the Council.

The 47 seat Human Rights Council replaced the former 53 member Commission on Human Rights. The latter was an independent body but was elevated to the status of a subsidiary body of the Assembly. "Special Procedures" is the name given to the mechanisms established by the former United Nations Commission on Human Rights and is continued by Human Rights Council to monitor human rights violation in specific countries or specific global human rights issues.

UNSC

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations, charged with the maintenance of international peace and security as well as accepting new members to the United Nations and approving any changes to its United Nations Charter. Its powers include the establishment of peacekeeping operations, the establishment of international sanctions, and the authorization of military action through Security Council resolutions; it is the only UN body with the authority to issue binding resolutions to member states

So DELEGATES, WE PRESENT TO YOU THE SECOND COUNCIL,
THE COUNCIL WHERE THE WORLD'S MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE MEET

11/06/2016

THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER!

WE NOW PRESENT THE SIMULATED COUNCILS FOR ASIAN MUN 2016.

PRESENTING THE FIRST COUNCIL

UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY - DISARMAMENT AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY(GA DISEC).
The Committee on Disarmament and International Security(DISEC) is responsible for the maintenance of peace and security. The mandate of one of the main committees of the General Assembly is devoted to disarmament as any threat to peace may affect the international community as a whole. The endeavours of the first committee of the GA are focused on seeking solutions to any possible and future challenges that the regime of the international security may face.
DISEC includes all the member states of the UN in its corps, following the principal of "one member,one vote", providing opportunities
to member states to focus on issues regarding arms control and global safety.

Although, the first committee of GA doesn't posses the exclusive and binding mandate of the Security Council, it constantly cooperates with this main body of the UN by making recommendations that concern the field of international peace and security. The normative nature of the resolution of this committee renders them salient, apart from being respected by the Security Council alone.

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT MUN.

It’s everyone’s worst nightmare. Walking into a conference and having absolutely no idea what to do. You’ve been told it's easy, “Model UN can be understood during a conference”, they say. In reality, if you want to start off your MUN career with a bang, it’s important to come to your first conference prepared.
Personally, when I went to my first conference, I was dumbfounded, and by the end of it, I wish I had known the following things before I walked in. So, let's get started!

The Different Types of Committees. There are three main types of committees, they are:

-General Assemblies (GAs): These committees simulate the six GAs, DISEC, ECOFIN, SOCHUM, SPECPOL, Administrative and Budgetary, and Legal. They are typically the largest committees and pass non-binding resolutions.
-Specialized Committees: These committees do not always simulate United Nations committees, but when they do, they simulate one of the fourteen ECOSOC committees. They can also simulate other congregations of delegates, such as the International Olympic Committee or the United States Senate. Typically, specialised committees are smaller than GAs.
-Crisis Committees: These committees are made to force delegates to think on their feet. They can be anything from Historical Security Councils to futuristic rebel meetings. Delegates are constantly provided with random crisis updates that can completely change the flow of committee at the chairs discretion. These committees, typically for more advanced delegates, are among the smallest in MUN.

Parliamentary Procedure. Walking into your first committee session can be confusing, because people aren’t going to be using pronouns like I or my. Instead, they’ll be following Parliamentary Procedure. Since you will most likely be representing a nation, it is important to express beliefs on behalf of your nation. For example, “The United States is a strong supporter of the conservation of resources.” Parliamentary procedure also includes:

-Points of Inquiry: These are used if you have a question about an aspect of committee you don’t understand.
-Points of Personal Privilege. These are used if you experience some sort of discomfort such as the inability to hear a delegate, you would kindly bring this up to the chair.
-Points of Order. These are used if you believe there was a mistake made in the rules of procedure.
-Motions. Motions are used mainly to transition between stages of committee. For example, motions are used to move into a moderated caucus or to move into voting procedure. They can also be used to open and suspend debate and various other things that vary from conference to conference.

The Phases of Committee. Committee is usually split up into four main phases, they are:

– Speakers List. The speakers list is where delegates usually begin and is usually used to discuss opinions rather than foster debate. During these, it is necessary to define your countries opinion on the topics discussed in the background guide.
-Moderated Caucuses. Moderated caucuses usually immediately follow Speakers Lists, and encourage more back and forth debate. Speakers usually speak from their seats about a set topic and the speaking time is less than that of a Speakers List. During these, you should be arguing as to why your countries policy/your solutions should be carried forward with.
-Un-moderated Caucuses (Unmods). Unmods are used to form blocks and write working papers. Most of the time, motions for unmods take place after a few moderated caucuses when clear opinions have already been stated. During these you should either be convincing others to work with your block, negotiating mergers, or writing your working papers.
-Voting. Voting procedure is typically the last portion of committee, and is invoked by a motion. Working papers become draft resolutions when introduced, and then, if passed, become resolution.
