Message from the

Principal
Ryan International School, Nirman Nagar extends heart filled
gratitude to Respected Chairman Sir and Respected Managing
Director Madam for providing us this wonderful platform. This
platform provided ample learning opportunities to the students.
Students were benefitted enormously as they took time for self
reflection and research. They developed the skills of research,
communication, listening to the peers and self confidence. The RIS
MUN conference provided an excellent platform to the students to
interact with each other and exchange their views on the global issues.
The conference equipped the participants with knowledge and
confidence which will definitely help them to be the responsible global
citizens. After participating in the platform the students emerged
confident to build tolerance, accountability, responsibility and
courage as young leaders of the future world.
The research done by the students gave them insight into World
Politics, understanding how different societies work and how we are
all connected GLOBALLY, how a single action by any country can
have an everlasting impact on the entire world. It was a totally
different and amazing experience for the children. They came up with
wonderful ideas and systematic work process. The event was very well
planned. The lively spirit of the children during the event was worth
watching.

speeches given, the problems addressed and solutions proposed, all showed
the calibre that you possessed to become future leaders. The intricacy of
MUNs allow them to stand out as a great platform for persona building, the
skills that you accquired during this event will help you far beyond your

Opening Ceremony
The gavel sounded, Ryan Model United Nations conference was
back with its 6th Edition. Opening of the event served as a unique
introduction to the event's character, by rejoicing in prayer and a
short address by the MUN club President, Aryaman Singh
Shekhawat, the delegates got a fix of what was about to come.
This time the RIS-MUN conference was with
a new edition to the normal format, the introduction of the All
India Political Parties Meet as a new committee; an MUN take on
the Indian Lok Sabha. The conference commenced with the
opening pledge followed by a huge round of applause.
As the delegates moved towards their committee rooms they were
armed with research and motivation to win.

ob The lobbying arena
Lobbying: the one activity every delegate
has a hate relationship with, no matter how
L

much they deny it.

For better or for worse, Lobbying and the Hunger
Games are often indistinguishable. For starters, both
involve a well-camouflaged comucopia brimming with
delegates' worst nightmares.
Reclusive and huddled in a tight-knit group, blocs have emerged, as
delegates wait with sharp eyes and sharp knives hidden in their formal
shoes. Meet the "Career" delegates. Their logic is simple: if the ordinary
delegate cannot understand what they're saying, how can you ever rebut
them? Perhaps the wisest tactic is to ally with your Rue-delegates who can
improvise convincing arguments to attract delegates. With chocolates in
their pockets and an arsenal of persuasive words to help steer bloc politics,
they will be the triumphant underdog.
As for the little researched delegates you just simply got to gaslight people
into thinking you’re the most researched delegate in the committee by
adding the hypocritic delegates to your side and ruling the committee with
your little research. ( you all know whom am I talking about)
As for the master manipulators, tackle them with slyness. Look out for
delegates with wild cards hidden in their sleeves, much like Haymitch's
surprising support for Katniss.
So, sharpen your senses and lunge into the room where delegates battle it
to the end to seal their future. Happy lobbying, and may the odds be ever
in your favour!

Politics was at its “best” in the committee of
AIPPM. Delegates often rested to argue their way in
causing chaos, Respected Prime Minister Narendra
Modi and Mr. Mallikarjun Kharge were at constant
odds with each other as the head of their own
parties, the resultant debate ended with 17 follow
ups to a single question. Delegates enjoyed and
felicitated this debate with their table tapping.

Star Wars
The Yoda - Judge me by my size, do you? They are often the
quietest delegates in committee, the masterminds who work
behind the scenes to ensure the force remains with them. Even
though you may not notice them at first, you'll definitely
remember when they walk away with the Best Delegate award.

The Padawan - Ironically the young Padawans enter the

committee anxious and full of nervous energy. However, they
are often the most loyal followers of the pack, listening
enthusiastically to the bloc leader's directions. Patience, young
Padawan, you have a long way to go!

The Darth Vader - This delegate seems to weave threads of

chaos at every turn. They rule the high-stress world of crisis
committees, guided by their unspoken motto: the more
controversial, the better. Do not be surprised to see them
frequently requesting invasions, war, and kidnappings
whenever possible. What was that? You want to drop an
atomic bomb?

The Jedi Masters - These MUN intellectuals have a gift for

words. They spend most of their time preparing speeches that
amateur delegates can only dream of. They are the masters of
procedure and can instantly transform a resolution from good
to great. These delegates are silent but deadly.

Whether the resolution is against your
delegation's policy or you simply dislike the font

ee

"respectfully" disagree with delegates.

1) Aim to criticize the main postulates of a resolution, but remember to start
wit

with style. There's always the classic "this" resolution is like a blunt pencil...it
has no point." If you're feeling particularly adventurous, maybe even say "I'll

go through this resolution flaws by flaws, not clause by clause."

2) Criticize the way in which a resolution proposes to achieve its objective. You can go

and needs to be chucked." No one can find fault with the words of the small but wise

Jedi.
It becomes tricky if a resolution seems solid but you have a primal urge to oppose it. In
that case, you can do the following:
3) Ad hominem: Attack the authority or intentions of the delegates . All you need to
do is scream SHAME and accuse them of green imperialism.
4) Look for instances that reflect ignorance, double standards, hypocrisy or
self-contradiction. Get up, adjust your tie and point out that the delegation's
arguments are as fragile as their economy. It works every time.
These techniques should prepare you for the cut throat
environment of a RISMUN committee. Do use them wisely
and don't bother addressing the real, underlying problem.
That's unimportant. (being sarcastic)
