Conference Policies

Policies | Procedures | Committees | Programming | Schedule | Forms

We ask for your cooperation in maintaining order, both in and out of committee session, so that we may provide a professional, safe, and educational conference. Throughout the duration of the conference, please be aware that:

1. Delegates are first and foremost delegates to NUMUN and are expected to be respectful of others. Harassment in any form will not be tolerated, the nature of which includes, but is not limited to, discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, ethnicity, color, religion, gender, age, mental and physical disabilities, socio-economics status, and sexual orientation. Eliminating harassment of this kind will create an open forum for discussion and understanding in which no group is excluded. Reported incidents of harassment will be thoroughly investigated, and the Secretariat reserves the right to take any action it deems necessary.

2. The use of illicit drugs or consumption of alcohol will not be tolerated. Delegates or staff found possessing, trafficking, or using illegal substances will be required to leave immediately and may be held criminally liable.

3. The Secretariat reserves the right to discipline or expel delegates from the Conference for inappropriate behavior, including, but not limited to, the use of foul language, suggestive remarks, and obscene body language.

4. Solicitation of any events by individuals other than the Secretariat will not be tolerated without the consent of the NUMUN Secretariat.

5. Delegates are required to wear proper Western business attire. Respectful wear of the national costume of the country they are representing is also accepted. Delegates and staff not maintaining an appropriate standard of dress will be asked to change their clothing.

6. For the duration of the conference, a 1:00 AM curfew is in effect in the conference hotels. By this time delegates are required to be in their rooms and refrain from making excessive noise.

7. To ensure fair and equitable participation at NUMUN, all delegates are not allowed to use personal laptops at the conference or bring working papers to committee sessions that have been drafted prior to the beginning of the conference.
