It is my greatest pleasure to launch Bangladesh Model United Nations Conference 2016 for the eighth time. We are really proud to uphold the legacy this year too.

Youth are consider to be the powerhouse of our country who have always been taking brave initiatives to make our nation a better place to live in. The theme of BANMUN Season VII was “Role of Youth in Community Development”. This year we have come up with something different and have selected the theme “Climate Change and Sustainable Development Goals”.

We believe that participating in this conference will help the delegates develop their capabilities and implement them in different development programs that will help the environment and the climate of Bangladesh.

Talking about BANMUN, Model United Nations was first introduced in Bangladesh by United Nations Youth and Students Association of Bangladesh in 2002 with university students as participants. By passing time we felt the necessity of nurturing the MUN enthusiasts from a bit early age. Hence we started the Bangladesh Model United Nations only with the school and college goers. And now hundreds and thousands of kids are getting interested in World Diplomacy.

We are extremely glad that this year we received a huge response from the enthusiastic participants through the social media regarding the conference. I thank each and every delegate for being so responsive and making this conference a successful one. I am grateful to the organizing body of UNYSAB because of the hard work that actually paid off. Heartiest thanks to the authority of Adamjee Cantonment College. I also thank the sponsors and partners for their assistance.

I hope in this four days, MUN enthusiasts will negotiate and come up with such sustainable resolutions that actually helps our country for better policies. Best of luck people!

Message from the Secretary General of

Bangladesh Model UnitedNations 2016

It is my great pleasure to be a part of the legacy that stepped into its 8th consecutive season through Bangladesh Model United Nations 2016 (BANMUN) organized by United Nations Youth and Students Association of Bangladesh (UNYSAB). UNYSAB has been able to make it all happen this year again through dedication and hard work, working with the bright and young talents of this generation, that too in a more grandeur way that upheld the integrity of the conference. Congratulations to all the participants and organizers.

We, as Bangladeshis believe in certain morals and principles which are the basis of our rich heritage and the struggle for liberation. The principles on which we fought and won our independence are Bengali Nationalism, Democracy, Secularism or in other worlds ensuring freedom of all religions as well as non-communal politics and Socialism, that is to say-the establishment of an exploitation-free society and social justice. In upholding these principles, we the youth need capacity building, enhancement of knowledge and involvement in nation building.

The platform of Model United Nations Conference is undoubtedly of the kind that has itself taken the responsibility of nurturing such qualities in our youth. I am overwhelmed at the enthusiastic participation of our young generation in these conferences; I believe that we can do the impossible. Unlike any other nation, we, Bangladeshis are a proud and resilient people, moving forward in becoming a developed country, building the foundations for our youth in becoming global leaders. This is why I am not surprised to see so many bright and young minds working together in dealing with the global issues and acting as active policymakers, that too in such a professional manner.

Concluding my message with a last few words; I believe in the youth of Bangladesh, I believe we can make a difference, I believe we can work together to face challenges through advocacy, volunteerism and youth community building.

I believe, we will not bow down or give up until we reach our desired goals.

I wholeheartedly congratulate all the MUNers, organizers and the Secretariat of BANMUN 2016 and wish every success of the conference.

01

This is my sole pleasure to have seen United Nations Youth and Students Association of Bangladesh organizing the Bangladesh Model United Nations (BANMUN), 2016 for the 8th consecutive year. It is no doubt a praiseworthy initiative and I appreciate their goodwill of upholding the legacy. Congratulations on that.

I would like to congratulate the organizers and the secretariat for providing the kids of this generation to foster their skills and experience in diplomacy and negotiations through the Model UN Conference. Today’s kids are the future of tomorrow. Nurturing them to prepare for a better tomorrow is our responsibility. The way UNYSAB has taken the responsibility to flourish their way of thinking and dealing problems is undoubtedly a praiseworthy one. MUN is the best platform for the youth to develop their potential through dialogue and debate. This is the very platform that sharpens the professionalism in the kids and develop their capabilities to formulate pragmatic solutions to prevailing global issues. I hope this year’s BANMUNC will create a much more better impact on the participants and their world view and will enhance their potential to be better leaders.

I wish every success of the BANMUN team.

It is my great pleasure to hear that “United Nations Youth and Students Association of Bangladesh” is organizing “Bangladesh Model United Nations” for the 7th consecutive year. I congratulate all the members of UNYSAB for taking such efforts.

Model United Nations is a platform where youngsters can learn diplomacy, negotiations and can act as a policymaker which helps them to flourish their leadership qualities. In this contemporary world youth and community development has become synonymous. Youth are thought to be the true agents of community development. I am happy to know that this year UNYSAB has selected the MUN theme “Role of Youth in Community Development” which I believe is an appropriate decision considering current scenario. I am sure the participants will play a vital role to bring quality change in their respective communities.

I wish BANMUN 2015 a grand success.

United Nations Youth and Students Association Bangladesh (UNYSAB) inspire the young citizens of this When the first session of BANMUN was organized back in 2002, we were being nurtured by the best group of diplomats of the country. Later three of them became the Foreign Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Peoples’ Republic of Bangladesh. Our first conference was a huge success. We had with us a bunch of enthusiatic volunteers of UNYSAB, two of which later became the President of the Organization. I sincerely do bilieve that this year’s BANMUNC will have more potential future leaders among us. We believe in expanding the platform, creating new possibilities while harnessing volunteerism as the key to setting up new goals. We always have focused on community development as the centre of all our activities, goals and endeavours.

I am really glad to see Model United Nations becoming a premier platform in our country for the younsters who really are concerned about the nation and the world too. I have viewed MUN as a way to experience the world from a variety of perspectives where delegates always go for a win-win resolution. I congratulate United Nations Youth and Students Association of Bangladesh for making BANMUN take place for the eighth consecutive season and I really am proud and privileged to be a part every time.

I congratulate all the Secretariat members and the organizers for such a successful conference this year and best wishes to all the delegates of Bangladesh Model United Nations 2016.

Bangladesh, like many other countries, is currently facing the heat of terrorism. I believe, terrorism feeds on alienation, lack of empathy and understanding- at family, country, regional, and global levels. MUN is perhaps one of the best ways to promote cross-cultural understanding and collaboration.

I am really glad that, at this moment of frustrations arising from the recent terrorist attack in Dhaka, United Nations Youth and Students Association of Bangladesh is organizing this timely event- the Bangladesh Model United Nations conference, and that for the eighth consecutive year.

I believe today's youth are the leaders and policymakers of tomorrow. MUN paves the way for nurturing their leadership skills. I hope, this MUN will transform the participants into good persons, leaders, and change-makers; who would eventually change the face of this country- obviously in a positive direction.

I wish everyone, both the organizers and the participants, great success- not just for the period of BANMUN, rather for many years to come. Cheers.

United States of America and United Kingdom).

Rule 27. Voting Rights : Each present delegation shall have one vote. Observing nations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) cannot vote on substantive matters.Each vote may be a Yes, No, or Abstain. On procedural motions, members may not abstain.

unfriendly amendments to a resolution shall be voted on first. When two or more amendments are proposed to a resolutionconcurrently, the committee shall first vote on the amendment that creates the greatest change to the draft resolution, as deemed by the Chair, and then the amendment that creates the second greatest change to the resolution. This process continues until all amendments are voted upon. Where, however, the adoption of the amendment necessarily implies the rejection of another amendment (as decided by the Chair), the latter amendment shall not be put to a vote. If one or more amendments are adopted, the amended proposal shall then be voted upon. Amendment voting is a substantive procedure and adoption requires the simple majority consent of the delegations present.

Rule 32. Passage of Resolutions : If a vote does not result in a simple majority* in favor, the resolution shall be regarded as rejected. A simple majority requires fifty percent of the members present during the last role call, plus one. Example: 99 members present requires 49.5 (50%) + 1= 50.5=51 affirmative votes.*Exceptions: The United Nations Security Council requires nine affirmative votes for the passage of resolutions and amendments. In addition to the nine affirmative votes, an affirmative vote or an abstention on the part of all permanent members (People’s Republic of China, France, Russian Federation, United States of America and United Kingdom) is required for the passage of all resolutions and amendments.
