BEST MODEL UN SCORING SYSTEM

(GENERAL OVERVIEW)

COMMITTEE: UNICEF

Scores will be assigned based on participation and quality of performance in


several areas. All areas are as important to the success of a delegate as they are
to the success of a diplomat, and scoring will be done with this in mind.
Delegates will be assessed in the following five categories:

Verbal Skills: Formal Debate and Moderated Caucus


Writing Skills: Amendments and Resolutions
Knowledge of Topics/ Policy
Parliamentary Procedure
Participation Skills

VERBAL SKILLS: FORMAL DEBATE AND MODERATED CAUCUS


When observing a delegate’s debating or verbal skills it is important to be aware
of not only their level of participation but also to be aware of the calibre of
participation. Speaking ability as well as enthusiasm in debate is important.
Debating is the most important medium for the flow of ideas during the
conference, and a delegate’s success is highly dependent on his/her ability to get
ideas across to the delegates from other countries.

WRITING SKILLS: AMENDMENTS AND RESOLUTIONS


Resolution writing is also important to the success of a delegation. Although
delegates may be very active in debate, if their ideas are not somehow brought
into a resolution then their ideas are not brought into action. Sponsors and co
sponsors that contributed significantly in unmoderated caucus will be specially
noted.
KNOWLEDGE OF TOPICS/ POLICY
While an in-depth knowledge of country policy is not always necessary for
success in passing a resolution in Model UN, it is the goal of the Model UN
program to educate. A superior delegation should be well aware of its country’s
policy; they should remain in character as well as have a grasp of international
issues.

Delegates’ fluency with the topics and their countries’ policies is demonstrated
by the delegates and the statements they make in the committee will be
assessed. Chairs and Co-chairs will note which delegates portray their country
faithfully and demonstrate a thorough grasp of topics assigned and their
country’s policy.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE
Parliamentary procedure helps keep the events of the conference organised. It is
important for each delegate to know the flow of debate and the specific ins and
outs of the parliamentary procedure process, such as yielding time and time
limits.

A delegate’s knowledge of parliamentary procedure is shown in how a delegate


operates during debate. Chairs and co-chairs will note when a delegate or
delegation uses parliamentary procedure fluently, and to their advantage in
committee.
PLEASE NOTE – This is a learning conference, so delegates should maintain
an attitude of respect towards all.
PARTICIPATION
Chairs and co-chairs will also be evaluating each delegation’s participatory
skills as the conference progresses. How does the delegation work with other
delegations? Do they work to secure agreement and communicate clearly and
persuasively, use yield to benefit allies, seem to have a plan or strategy to get
support for their policies, welcome contributions from others, listen as well as
speak to other delegations? Are they respectful of the contributions and ideas of
other delegations? Chairs and co-chairs will observe delegates interacting in all
elements of debate, including during unmoderated caucus and even when
raising point(s) of information.
