From the Executive Board

Dear Delegates,

We are pleased to welcome you to the fourth edition of Axel Model United Nations (AXMUN)

The topics under discussion for the conference are-

·         Legalization of gay marriage and LGBT rights (HRC)

·          Fourth Generation Warfare in the Middle East (DISEC)

·         Threats to International Peace and Security Caused by Terrorist Acts (SPC)

The topics at hand are ones very relevant to today’s world. It is very important that you along with the other delegates of the committee come together to debate solutions to the agendas mentioned above.

But delegates please note, will the topic might seem simple, we expect all of you to go into detail of every aspect of the agenda, leaving no stone unturned.

In your approach to any agenda, we would like you to think creatively, strategically and most importantly, diplomatically. The decision process will be intensive but the actions taken will have extensive implications for all the nations. Any actions take will have to be taken bearing in mind that they could have a subsequent effect of future policies. From each one of you exemplary diplomacy is expected. This includes diplomatic courtesy, effective lobbying and compromising on reasonable grounds.  However, the members of the committee must not restrict their research to mere introductions of the agenda. Each of you must maintain the decorum and required level of

Research that is expected from the Executive Board. This research need not be restricted to one’s country, but also to other nations present within the committee, as such research helps to keep the flow of debate intense and also helps understand each countries relationship with one another.

We would also like everyone to prepare topics for Moderated Caucus as we feel that breaking up the main agenda into sub-agendas can be used effectively in finding solutions for the agenda. This topic can have numerous moderated caucus topics so please make sure we as a committee, cover them all.

Please bear in mind that there are only two days to resolve this issue and we would like all delegates to take part in forming a resolution and having it passed.

We look forward to all the ideas you have and the high quality of debate that will take place. However, what is most important is that you make sure you have fun during the conference! If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact us!

We wish you all the best for your preparation for the Conference and hope that your AXMUN experience exceeds your expectation! J

Sincerely,

The Executive Board

Naina Catherine (Chair of DISEC)

Aveeva Saikia (Chair of SPC)
