Creating a Respectful Environment
Awareness is key to fostering a positive and inclusive environment at GerMUN. As delegates, we engage in discussions on global challenges, often debating sensitive topics. It is essential to remain mindful of our words and actions, ensuring that all participants feel safe and respected. Harassment or placing others in uncomfortable situations – whether through language, behavior, or personal interactions – goes against the spirit of diplomacy and professionalism that GerMUN upholds.
Harassment or discrimination based on gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, physical impairment, age, cultural origin, religious affiliation, disability, or worldview will not be tolerated by the conference and is unacceptable. Any action in violation of this rule may lead to immediate expulsion from the conference without compensation.
You can find more information under the UN Code of Conduct and the NMUN Code of Conduct.
This applies not only during the sessions, but also during socializing. Remember that we are guests of the youth hostel and the other guests should not be disturbed.
If you observe or experience any violations of these principles, please use the following form to find out more and inform us.
Thank you.
RULES
Generally, the NMUN NY conference’s Code of Conduct and the respective Rules of Procedure will apply for GerMUN 2027. Click here for an overview of the points and motions that can be brought forward during committee sessions.
At GerMUN we attach great importance to maintaining a respective and non-discriminatory atmosphere and work environment. All participants are jointly responsible for creating the conditions for open and constructive debates together.
Please be especially reminded of the following:
- Prewritten Resolutions are equally as unacceptable as malicious copying from existing UN documents.
- All clothing must portray professionalism as expected in diplomatic settings. Professional western business attire is expected. It is not appropriate to display any school or national symbols such as flags, pins, crests, etc. on your person during sessions. All UN symbols are acceptable. Traditional dress is permitted only for delegations in whose home countries it is considered professional business dress. NMUN will not tolerate any attempt to portray a character using traditional cultural attire as a costume.
- Be reminded that we will take and publish pictures of the conference and hence also conference participants. Please contact the conference staff directly to inquire about other options if you don’t want to be included in public conference pictures.
If you notice or encounter any behavior that may be considered to be in violation of the rule above or the code of conduct, please bring it to the attention of the conference staff.
