    MUN

    ViMUN:As every year, Vivum invites its participants to engage in the thrilling and informative reproduction of a

    select group of departments of the United Nations that is ViMUN. This year, we have been inspired to

    take the world back in time to 1946- the Indo-Pak conflict. Delegates will debate this contentious issue,

    acting as the most influential players in the conflict, and will find a solution to this grave and imminent

    crisis at hand.

    1) The Indian National Congress

    2) The Muslim League

    3) The British

    TISB has dared to think different, while we will maintain the same THIMUN format where formality has a

    major role to play with the same motions and orders to be used on the floor.

    Points to note: The stage is set in 1946, a day after Direct Action Day in Calcutta

    The Muslim league wants a separate state of Pakistan, the INC wants one nation, the British are

    wondering what to do but will second the side which they feel has a stronger point

    The Agenda: Delegates must discuss how to settle the Calcutta riot first

    Then starts the possibility of the partition

    The economic, social and political impact of a partition, why we should have it (Muslim league)

    or why we should not (INC)

    The committee will pass resolutions (rather directives - shorter

    resolutions) and can also make Press Releases.

    The task is challenging for while on the first - Calcutta riot issue, delegates are supposed to work

    together to help the general good. On the second, they will differ in opinion.

    The British will have a major role in the votes

    Requirements: Each delegate must submit position papers on two issues

    a. The end and restoration post Calcutta Riots

    b. The possibility Of A Partition

    For this Model summit is complex yet interesting, we would encourage those with experience

    in the past, if not, we suggest you learn of an MUN (points on the floor, motions, directives)

    before opting for this

    The INC and the Muslim league is supposed to maintain its basic stance, reasoning will be key

    Maximum of 6 delegates per school (remember- you will be against each other)

  • 8/6/2019 Event Booklet 1

    22/30

    Judging Criteria: Four awards will be given - Best Delegate, Outstanding Delegate, Honorary Delegate and Best

    Position Paper

    Each delegate will get a political character they will represent, they need not read about him in

    person, but must research on his partys vision.
