Statement of Acknowledgement
of Traditional Land
We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University
of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been
the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and
most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today,
this meeting place is home to many Indigenous people
from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the
opportunity to learn and work on this land.
Special Thanks to
Amanda Ng, Audrey Goodman, Catherine Yang, Cheryl
Gu, Gabriel Escobar, Julia Salame, Lamiha Haque, Naomi
Trick, Paul Huang, Rohma Kahn, branch directors, and
members of the Secretariat for their help in authoring
this guide.

Delegate Handbook
Conference Equity Policies and
Delegate Code of Conduct
Content Disclaimer
At its core, Model United Nations (MUN) is a simulatory exercise of diplomatically
embodying, presenting, hearing, dissecting, and negotiating various perspectives in debate.
Such an exercise offers opportunities for delegates to meaningfully explore possibilities for
conflict resolution on various issues and their complex, even controversial dimensions—
which, we recognize, may be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with.
As UTMUN seeks to provide an enriching educational experience that facilitates
understanding of the real-world implications of issues, our committees’ contents may
necessarily involve sensitive or controversial subject matter strictly for academic purposes.
We ask for delegates to be respectful, professional, tactful, and diplomatic when engaging
with all committee content, representing their assigned country’s or character’s position,
communicating with staff and other delegates, and responding to opposing viewpoints.
UTMUN Policies
We ask for your cooperation in maintaining order, both inside and outside of
committee session, so that we may provide a professional, safe, inclusive, and educational
conference.
Throughout the conference, please note that delegates shall only:
1. Wear Western Business Attire (i.e., no costumes, no casual wear)
2. Embody their assigned country’s/character’s position, not their mannerisms (e.g.,
no accents, no props)
3. Use laptops or electronic devices during unmoderated caucuses to draft paperless
resolutions/directives (subject to their committee director’s permission)
4. Opt for diplomatic, respectful, and tactful speech and phrasing of ideas, including
notes (e.g., no foul language, suggestive remarks, or obscene body language)
5. Make decisions that contribute to a professional, safe, inclusive, and educational
space for debate
The rest of our conference policies can be found on our website at https://www.utmun.org/

Delegate Handbook
By attending all or part of a UTMUN conference, attendees agree to abide by all of our
conference policies.
Furthermore, delegates’ efforts to contribute to a culture of collaboration, inclusivity,
and equity at our conference, both inside and outside of committee session, will be
considered by the dais and Secretariat when determining conference scholarships and
committee awards.
In cases of failing to adhere to any of UTMUN’s policies, the Secretariat reserves
the right to take any action it deems necessary, including rendering delegates ineligible for
awards, taking disciplinary action, and prohibiting delegates from participating further in the
conference.
Equity Concerns and Accessibility Needs
UTMUN 2020’s Secretariat and Staff are committed to ensuring every attendee has
an enjoyable, comfortable, and safe experience and is able to participate fully and positively
at our conference.
If you have any equity concerns (e.g., concerns about barriers to participation) or
accessibility needs now or during the conference, please do not hesitate to contact your
committees’ dais and/or our Equity Officer at equity@utmun.org
