WELCOMING LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR GENERAL

Dear Esteemed Delegates,

Welcome to the 2023 Ulaanbaatar Model United Nations (UBMUN)

Conference! It is a great honor and privilege to stand before you as
the Director General of this prestigious gathering of minds.

The UBMUN conference provides a platform for us to transcend our

individual identities and perspectives. Here, we don the mantles of
diplomats and leaders, tasked with the noble responsibility of
addressing critical issues that affect our world. It is through
diplomacy, dialogue, and understanding that we aim to forge
solutions that are both sustainable and equitable.
Our journey over these days will be demanding, intellectually
stimulating, and rewarding. We will engage in intense debates,
negotiate and compromise, and work collectively towards
resolutions that reflect the wisdom and collective intelligence
present in this room. Our discussions here will reverberate beyond
these walls, shaping the discourse on global challenges and
opportunities.

I encourage each one of you to embrace the principles of diplomacy

and empathy. Listen attentively to the diverse perspectives that will
be shared, for within these perspectives lie the seeds of
comprehensive solutions. Respect one another, even in
disagreement, for it is through respectful discourse that we learn
and grow.

Thank you.
Galbadrakh Erdenetsogt Director General UBMUN 2023

WELCOMING LETTER FROM SECTRETERY GENERAL

Dear Delegates,

Standing in the background, observing from behind the scenes, I

am moved to tears with the astonishingly brilliant youth, taking the
initiative to be the leader, cutting through the thick, to make
changes, to make tomorrow brighter than yesterday ever was, than
today ever will be.

Ambitions, dreams and goals grow at UBMUN. This event has

helped hundreds of Mongolian children walk forward, more refined,
more educated than before for 8 years now. And I was extremely
lucky to be given this chance to work as the Secretary General at
UBMUN 2023.

As a young adult, who did not have many chances to find, refine
and define the person that I was becoming, I am absolutely
honored to work with the brightest of minds.

I truly hope this conference will be a lot more than just a few days
where you sat with other children, discussing a topic that you would
forget in a month. I hope this is a chance to understand, to make
friends, to learn and to make memories. I hope the choices our staff
members made and the efforts our chairs made can ignite that little
light that burns in your chest to begin and be the change, for a
better, happier, safer and brighter future.

Sincerely signed,
ANUJIN Amgalan
Secretary General
UBMUN 2023

PREAPARING FOR THE CONFRENCE

Delegate research and preparation is a critical element of

attending UBMUN and enjoying the conference’s intellectual and
cosmopolitan perspective. We have provided this Background
Guide to introduce the topics that will be discussed in your
committee. This document is designed to give you a description of
the committee’s mandate and the topics on its agenda.

An essential part of representing a state in an international body is

the ability to articulate a given state’s views in writing. Accordingly,
UBMUN requires each delegation to write a position paper for
both topics on the committee’s agenda.

To summarize, position papers should be structured into three

sections, described below.

I: Topic Background – This section should describe the history of

the topic as it would be described by the delegate’s country.
Delegates do not need to give an exhaustive account of the topic
background, but rather focus on the details that are most
important to the delegation’s policy and proposed solutions.

II: Country Policy – This section should discuss the delegation’s

policy regarding the topic. Each paper should state the policy in
plain terms and include the relevant statements, statistics, and
research that support the effectiveness of the policy.

ULAANBAATAR MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2023

 INTRODUCTION

Researching:
We provide delegates with plenty of research materials, such as
background guides (each with annotated bibliography) and this
delegate handbook, such materials will all be sent to you through
email. The Background Guide is a starting point to begin research
however, delegates are heavily encouraged to conduct
independent research to elevate their performance during the
conference. Please make sure that you are getting information
from reliable sources such as academic literature, scholarly
journals, newspaper articles, and official documents or other
literature provided by bodies associated with the UN. The
following websites will provide you with reliable material to start
your research from.
United Nations.org- Delegates can access committee sites, the
UN’s agenda, links to missions of Member States to the UN, etc.
United Nation Global issues- a topic-by-topic research gateway,
with information available on dozens of “global issues” that
transcend both state borders and, usually, individual UN agencies
or bodies.
UN Research Guides and Resources- this website has the UN
Documentation Research Guide, which will enable delegates to
find any UN document easily.
UN Bibliographic Information System- This source you can find
resolutions of UN bodies, meeting and voting records, and press
releases.

 CONFERENCE

GENERAL FLOW OF CONFRENCE SESSIONS

Like real bodies at the official United Nations, Model UN

committees have lengthy agendas and many delegates who want
to convey their countries’ positions and perspectives. In order to
help maintain order, Model UN conferences have rules of
procedure to establish when a delegate may speak, or what he or
she may address.
Some committees adopt complex procedures whereas some may be
more simple than others. It is essential for delegates to familiarize
themselves with the rules before arriving at the conference.

ROLL CALL
At the start of all conference sessions, it shall begin with roll call,
where the Chairman shall call out each country within the
committee. When a delegate hears their country called out loud,
they must answer with either present or present and voting. These
pose no significant difference except for ensuring that you are
present; however, if you chose to answer present and voting, you
will not be able to abstain from voting upon the resolution papers.

OPENING SPEECHES
After roll call, delegates may motion to start opening speeches.
During the opening speech, delegates must state their country’s
position on the chosen topic of the committee. The duration of
each opening speech will typically span from 60 to 90 seconds.

DEBATE
Upon beginning the session, the Chairman will ask delegates
whether there are any motions on the floor at that time. This will
allow delegates to motion for a Speakers’ List or Caucuses.
11

ULAANBAATAR MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2023

 CONFERENCE

SPEAKERS’ LIST (FORMAL DEBATE)

Upon seeing no motions on the floor or exhausting a current
motion, the Chairman will ask all delegates who wish to make a
speech to raise their placards. The Chairman will then choose
speakers to be placed upon the list. After a country has spoken,
they may request to be added to the speakers’ list again by
sending a note to the Dais,

“The delegate/delegation of ________ would like to be added to

the speakers’ list.”

The overall and individual speaking time will be set in the motion
put forth by the delegates. If no motions are made, the default
time is 60 to 90 seconds. When the committee is engaged in
formal debate, all rules of procedure will be heavily reinforced.

CAUCUS
MODERATED CAUCUS
A moderated caucus is a mixture of both formal and informal
debate. Moderated caucuses are motioned when a delegate wants
the committee to address a certain topic of interest. As the title
suggests, the Chairman will be moderating the delegates’ debate
and taking each speech into account. Rules of procedure will be
reinforced during while the motion is in action. A delegate can
motion for a moderated caucus in the form of:

“The delegate/delegation of ________ motions for a moderated

caucus on the topic of ________, overall speaking time ___
minutes/seconds, individual speaking time ___ minutes/seconds.”

12

ULAANBAATAR MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2023

 CONFERENCE

UNMODERATED CAUCUS
An unmoderated caucus can be considered a temporary recess.
Rules of procedure will be suspended during this time, and the
delegates may speak to each other and the Dais freely and
informally to discuss draft resolutions and other issues
concerning the topic at hand. A delegate can motion for an
unmoderated caucus in the form of:

“The delegate/delegation of ________ motions for an

unmoderated caucus for ___ minutes/seconds.”

WORKING PAPERS AND DRAFT RESOLUTIONS

After debates and caucuses, delegates must work on their draft
resolutions toward the end of committee sessions. Draft
resolutions must include points and arguments considering the
topic, signatories (signatures collected from delegates who
agree with the resolution paper) and sponsors (delegates who
wrote and provided points to the resolution paper; there can
only 3 sponsors at most). In addition, if there are changes to be
made, delegates must provide amendments to the document.

CLOSURE OF COMMITTEE SESSIONS

Once delegates are confident that they have made their
contry’s positions clear, and there are enough draft resolutions
on the floor, a delegate may motions to proceed into voting
procedures, therefore signifying the closure of debates.

VOTING PROCEDURES
After a motion to close debate has been passed, the committee
will move to voting procedures. Amendments will be voted
upon first, then resolutions. Once a draft resolution has reached
majority vote, the committee session shall then adjourn.

POSITION PAPER SAMPLE

THIS POSITION PAPER WAS WRITTEN BY THE DELEGATES OF IRAN IN MIMUN 2018.IN UBMUN 2018,
REMEMBER THAT IT IS ONLY ONE PERSON WRITING THE PAPER

Committee: IAEA (International Atomic Energy

Agency)
Topic: Iran Nuclear Deal: The Time Bomb of the
Middle East
Country: Islamic Republic of Iran
Names of Delegates: Jane Doe, John Doe

The IAEA states its mission as the “implementation of safeguards

and verification through inspection that nuclear energy is used for
peaceful purposes”. Exactly through this thorough inspection the
IAEA report in 2003 determined that Iran was building uranium
enrichment facilities. After lengthy deliberation and demands
(UNSC Resolution 1696: demanded that Iran suspend all
enrichment-related and reprocessing activities) and sanctions
made by the US and EU (economic, trade, scientific and military)
towards Iran, the P5+1, EU and Iran agreed upon the JCPOA, or the
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action more commonly known as the

17

ULAANBAATAR MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2023

 DOCUMENTS

the Iran Nuclear Deal, in July of 2015 (UNSC Resolutions 2231: sets
out a schedule for suspending and eventually lifting UN
sanctions, with provisions to re-impose UN sanctions in case of
non-performance by Iran, in accordance with the Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action).

The JCPOA allows the development of nuclear power for peaceful

purposes, which the Islamic Republic of Iran undoubtedly wishes
to uphold. Noting the past of nuclear development, it is of
utmost importance that Iran establishes itself as a dominant
power in the Middle East in order to secure the attention and
interests of the Western world, which has thus far denied Iran the
rights to seek technological superiority since the nation gained
the capability to do so for decades. Since 2015, Iran has sought
capable nuclear technology peacefully.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has, thus far, conceded to the

demands of the IAEA ever since the agreement was reached in
return for relief from some of the sanctions. The IAEA has
confirmed Iran’s compliance on multiple occasions yet despite all
important developments in the JCPOA in previous years, Iran’s
economy has suffered greatly as a result of the sanctions, and the
position of the United States President is a detriment and threat
to safety between Iran and the USA. By withdrawing from the
deal, the US has directly violated the accord and should be dealt
with harshly in order to uphold the integrity of the JCPOA and
the IAEA as a whole. Talks must continue in the future not to
limit Iran’s nuclear ability but rather to allow room for further
expansion and to hold the US accountable for their actions. The
nuclear arms programme is purely for the security of the Iranian
people in this time of outright international hostility.

ULAANBAATAR MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2023

 DOCUMENTS

WORKING PAPER AND DRAFT RESOLUTION

Working paper is commonly called pre-draft resolution paper. It is a

document which you present to others without having to worry about
the sponsors and signatories. It helps you present your ideas before
forming an official bloc.
After that, you collect sponsors and signatories to make your draft
resolution, which will be voted on to become a resolution paper at the
end of the committee sessions. The draft resolution paper is required to
have 3 sponsors and 25% of the committee as signatories.

For working paper (excluding the sponsors and signatories parts) and
draft resolution paper, the following format is recommended:

Committee name: (e.g. World Health Organization)

Names of the sponsors;
Names of the signatories;
Committee topic;
Preambulatory clause;
Operative clauses.

Sponsors are countries that are the principal authors of the draft
resolution paper and fully agree with the contents of the paper, while
signatories are countries that want the contents of the paper to be
discussed even if they do or do not agree with it.

Preambulatory Clauses are used to address the topic and highlights past
events on the issue. Each clause begins with a present participle and
ends with a comma. Sample clauses will be mentioned below.
Preambulatory clauses can include:
References to the UN Charter;
Citations of past UN resolutions or treaties on the topic under
discussion;
Mentions of statements made by the Secretary-General or a relevant
UN body or agency;

19

ULAANBAATAR MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2023

 DOCUMENTS

Recognition of the efforts of regional or nongovernmental

organizations in dealing with the issue;
General statements on the topic, its significance and its
impact.

Operative Clauses are used to offer solutions to the addressed

issues earlier using the preambulatory clauses. These clauses are
action oriented and should be written in the beginning of the
sentence (also underlined). Sample clauses will be mentioned
below.
Each clause should follow the following principles:
Clause should be numbered;
Each clause should support one another and continue to
build your solution;
Add details to your clauses in order to have a complete
solution;
Operative clauses are punctuated by a semicolon (;), with the
exception of your last operative clause which should end
with a period.
