MUN Rules:

Dress Code: Delegates are usually expected to dress in professional
attire, resembling diplomats or representatives at a real UN
conference.

Respectful Conduct: Participants are expected to maintain decorum
and engage in respectful behavior. This includes addressing each
other formally, respecting speaking time, and avoiding disruptive
behavior.

Research and Preparation: Delegates are required to thoroughly
research their assigned country or character, understand their position
on various issues, and prepare speeches and resolutions accordingly.
Committee Sessions: MUN conferences are divided into committees,
each focusing on specific topics. Delegates discuss, debate, and work
towards solutions during committee sessions.
Speaking Rules: Delegates are given speaking time to express their
country's or character's stance on the issues. Points of order, motions,
and other parliamentary procedures are followed.

propose solutions to the issues at hand. Resolutions are debated and
voted on by the committee.
Voting: Delegates vote on resolutions, and sometimes on procedural
matters. A resolution typically needs a majority or a two-thirds majority
to pass, depending on the rules of the conference.
