GENERAL RULES

With the exception of the hosting schools, participating schools may submit no more than 4 applications in each of the 4 categories (Student Officer/Press/Advisory Panel/ Film Institute). All students applying for Student Officer or Advisory Panel must complete an Application Form, together with a formal letter of motivation and a letter of recommendation from their MUN-Director. These must be returned to the THIMUN Qatar Office by the final closing date. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.

I. STUDENT OFFICERS

The Student Officer team consists of the Executive Committee together with the Co-Presidents, Deputy Presidents, Committee Chairs and Deputies in the various forums. All Student Officers must be thoroughly conversant with Parliamentary Procedure and particularly with the current THIMUN Rules of Procedure. They must have a good knowledge of current affairs as well as of the issues on the agenda. They will be required to write a research report and must be prepared to be actively involved in the lobbying process, coordinating the work of their respective Council, Commission, Conference or Committee throughout the week.

In their letter of application candidates should state which position and which forum(s) they are particularly interested in.

Please note that students in their final year at secondary school who have not previously chaired at a MUN conference are unlikely to be selected.

General Assembly Presidents and Committee ChairsGeneral Assembly Presidents and Committee Chairs will preside over committees when they are in session and assist in lobbying and in the plenary sessions. Most of these positions are expected to be filled by those who have

already held a student officer position at a MUN conference. Preference will be given to those who have experience from THIMUN-Affiliated conferences.

DeputiesIn general, Deputy Presidents and Deputy Chairs are appointed in order to provide an opportunity for younger students to gain experience. It is hoped that such students will prove themselves capable and will be available to serve again at the subsequent session of THIMUN Qatar. Thus preference will be given to students able to attend in 2013 as well as in 2014.

II. ADVISORY PANEL ON THE QUESTION OF SEAS AND OCEANS

This Panel, consisting of 28 members, has the taskof drawing up a summary of the situation of Seasand Oceans and a plan of action in an open debate.There is a separate form for applicants. All applicantsmust belong to a participating school and should bestudents with previous (THI)MUN experience. Whatdistinguishes this panel from all other forums atTHIMUN Qatar is that panelists will be the represen-tatives of bodies as diverse as be the representativesof bodies as diverse as countries, UN or otherorganizations. As such they will not only bring politicaland diplomatic perspectives, but in addition, economic,cultural, judicial and environmental dimensions to thisforum. The purpose of the debate is not to draw up aregular resolution, but a text that is advisory ratherthan mandatory in tone. From this it follows that thedebate will also be organized in a different fashion.The rules and regulations are akin to those of theSecurity Council; the APQSO will debate in plenarysessions but might be divided by the chair in separategroups in order to enhance the debate. The qualityof the debate highly depends on the experience,flexibility and enthusiasm of the participants to theforum.Former APQ participants all agree that thisforum is exciting because the group is really in chargeof the direction, scope and format of the debate.

Advocates may also be called upon to act as judges in the alternate case. Applications are sought from outstanding students of sound academic ability, with a capacity for independent research, a good knowl-edge of international affairs and MUN experience.

CONDUCT

GENERAL BEHAVIOURAlthough THIMUN Qatar is an educational exercise intended for young people, delegates are simulating the Councils, Commissions and Conferences of the United Nations. Thus, for the period of the conference, they must be regarded as diplomats and ambassadors for the country they are representing, as well as representatives of their individual schools. This demands a high standard of personal conduct and behavior from all delegates, both during the conference sessions and outside the Convention Center.

It is extremely important for personal safety and continuing good relations between THIMUN Qatar, the Convention Center, and Qatar Foundation that delegates behave appropriately at all times. Therefore, schools are expected to select their students carefully and not bring to THIMUN Qatar any student who is likely to create a disciplinary problem. School Administrators and MUN-Directors should be aware that attendance at the annual session of THIMUN Qatar is by invitation and that this invitation may be withheld from schools unable to ensure that their students conform to accepted standards of adult behavior.

MUN-DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES AND CONDUCTAll students must be accompanied by, and are the responsibility of, the designated MUN-Director(s). A MUN-Director must be a teacher at the school, or at one of the schools from which the delegation comes. At least two responsible adults (MUN-Directors or chaperones) should accompany each group. All students staying in hotels must be supervised by their MUN-Director. MUN-Directors are required to stay in the same hotel as their students and must ensure that their room is located as close as possible to the rooms in which their students are staying. At least one MUN-Director from each participating school is expected to be present in the Qatar National Convention Center at all times. MUN-Directors are also required to adhere to the dress code.

CONDUCT IN THE CONVENTION CENTERFormal dress, i.e. the kind of clothes that real UN diplomats might be expected to wear when attending UN sessions, is required at all meetings. In order not to cause offence to other delegates, national dress, military uniforms and armbands are forbidden. Delegates and teachers must be courteous at all times to the Convention Center Staff and to the THIMUN Qatar Organizational and Administrative Staff, most of whom are volunteers giving up many hours of their own time to serve the delegates.Smoking is prohibited in the entire Convention Center.

CONDUCT IN HOTELS Students must remember that THIMUN Qatar is dependent on the goodwill of the community and of hotel managements in being able to provide accommodation at discounted rates for delegates. A bad experience by just one hotel may mean the loss of many potential beds for future delegates. Therefore, students must be polite and considerate at all times to hotel staff and fellow residents. A curfew of 11 p.m. is recommended for every night except the cultural night.

ALCOHOL, DRUGS, DRESS, PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION, AND PERSONAL SAFETYMUN-Directors are responsible for enforcing rules for their own students with regard to alcohol consumption, drugs, dress in public places, and public displays of affection. Qatar is a safe and friendly country which has a thriving tourism industry. By following a few simple guidelines, delegates will have a safe and enjoyable time. When going to public places, delegates should dress modestly. Shorts and sleeveless shirts are not culturally appropriate. Fines can be issued for persons dressed inappropriately. In addition, all public displays of affection between genders should be discouraged. Couples holding hands or kissing in public is not culturally or legally accepted. Sexual relations between unmarried couples is a criminal offence in the State of Qatar.









































It is very important to realize that regardless of personal or cultural views, the use of any alcohol and narcotic drugs is expressly prohibited. The use of alcohol is tightly regulated in Qatar and is illegal for Muslims. Strict criminal penalties will be enforced if law officials become involved in any situation where alcohol or drugs have been used. Any delegate that is found to be in possession or to have consumed alcohol or drugs during the conference schedule will be immediately removed from the conference and the visa invitation will be revoked.









































THIMUN-AFFILIATED MODEL UNITED NATIONS

THIMUN-Affiliation links those MUNs, which wish to be associated with THIMUN and whose educational goals, standards and quality of organization are recognized as being of an appropriately high standard. THIMUN has encouraged the development of THIMUN-Affiliated MUNs in order to give more young people, for whom coming to THIMUN would be impossible, the opportunity to experience and enjoy the benefits of Model United Nations. It is, therefore, a primary goal of all THIMUN-Affiliated MUNs to reach out to the local communities in which they are situated and to encourage participation by local schools in their region.

AIMS OF THIMUN-AFFILIATED MODEL UNITED NATIONS– To promote interest in and support for

the work of the United Nations

– To promote interaction and dialogue between young people from a variety of countries and school systems

– To increase the awareness of international issues amongst young people

– To instil a global perception in young people, focussing on the formulation of peaceful resolutions to world problems

– To develop the communication skills necessary to foster the international education and global perception mentioned above

– To assist teachers and students in understanding the primary educational and philosophical aims of the programme

– To help teachers prepare their students for full participation in all aspects of a Model United Nations conference

– To achieve and maintain a common standard for participation among the delegates coming from different backgrounds and from various countries with differing educational systems

– To standardise the basic structures and rules of procedure used in the various conferences

– To provide a means of sharing the educational content of THIMUN with those who are developing their own Model United Nations and with interested parties outside the MUN

– To provide opportunities for teachers and students in the field of current international relations

North Africa, Middle East and India, wishing to
