Dress Code and General Rules of Conduct
It is assumed, by virtue of the fact that they are here for a serious purpose, that partici-pants are mature enough to respect others and to provide a framework within which all MUN participants can operate.Failure to follow these simple guidelines may result in the participants being sent home at their own expense and the school not being invited to participate in future sessions. Although MSMUN Qatar is an educational exercise intended for young people, delegates are simulating the Councils, Commissions and Conferences of the United Nations. Thus, for the period of the conference, they must be regarded as diplomats and ambas-sadors for the country they are representing, as well as representatives of their individual schools. This demands a high standard of personal conduct and behavior from all del-egates, both during the conference sessions and outside the Convention Center.
DressAs a serious simulation, THIMUN expects personal appearance to be appropriate for a professionalsetting. Formal dress, (the kind of clothes that real UN diplomats might be expected to wear whenattendingUNsessions),isrequiredatallmeetings.In order not to cause offence to other delegates, national dress, military uniforms and armbands areforbidden.Inappropriate dress includes, but is not limited to:»» Team accessories such as scarves, hats, non-THIMUN badges, buttons and pins»» Sport shoes and denim clothing»» Facial piercing»» National costume - with the exception of Abayas
Theminimalrequirementataconferenceformalesis to wear a pair of formal pants and shirt, with darkshoesandablazer.Itisadvisedthatmaleattendees dress in proper suits with a tie. Qatari national dress is not permitted as all delegates are representing theirassigned nation.Femalesshouldbedressedequallyformallyinsuitsordresses.Modestdressisrequiredintermsof length (below the knee), tops of arms covered and tightness of clothing. Leggings are not culturally appropriate clothing, nor is it considereddiplomatic attire. When going to public places, delegates should dress modestly. Shorts and sleeve-less shirts are not culturally appropriate. Fines can be issued for personsdressed inappropriately.The above dress code also applies to MUN Direc-tors.
