1
Hello, we are the Model United Nations Working Group in Ukraine, and today we are going to be demonstrating the flow of debate and Model United Nations procedures for a Model UN committee.
2
Today we are using the United Nations Security Council as an example, but this can be used for any committee.
3
We have a chair and four delegates.
4
I am a delegate.
5
I am representing People's Republic of China.
6
I am the chair.
7
I moderate debate and tell delegates when they may speak so that not everyone talks at the same time.
8
I sometimes also have a secretary.
9
They keep track of time for speaking and caucuses, keep track of the speakers list and other tasks the chair needs help with.
10
They sometimes are called a co -chair.
11
Additionally, at an event, there can also be a secretary general.
12
They are in charge of all committees at a conference, camp, or other event.
13
In real life, they are the head of the United Nations.
14
In MUN, they don't really do much directly in committee, unless there are problems between delegates and chairs.
15
To open the committee session, the chair calls this session to order.
16
Attention delegates, please take your seats.
17
I hereby call this United Nations Security Council session to order.
18
Is there a motion to open debate?
19
Yes, Ukraine.
20
Motion to open debate.
21
Is there a second?
22
Thank you, Canada.
23
All those in favor?
24
All those opposed?
25
As motion passes, debate is now open.
26
At the beginning of each committee session, the chair will take attendance in alphabetical order.
27
When your country is called, you may answer present or present in voting.
28
Present means you can vote yay, nay, or abstain.
29
Present in voting means you can only vote yay or nay, but may not abstain.
30
Delegates, we will now enter roll call.
31
Please state your voting preference between present or present in voting.
32
Brazil.
33
Brazil is present.
34
Canada.
35
Canada is present and voting.
36
If this is the first session of the committee, to start things off, you can use a speakers list.
37
A speakers list is a way for each country to present their position on the committee and topics.
38
You start by formally opening the speakers list, setting a speaking time, and then asking to be added to the speakers list.
39
You can close the speakers list at any time.
40
A speakers list can be used to debate agenda order or any other subject of debate.
41
It is simply a more formal form of debate where the speaking order is set.
42
Are there any points or motions on the floor?
43
Yes, Brazil.
44
Motion to open the speaker's list with a speaking time of two minutes per delegate.
45
Is there a second?
46
Thank you, Canada.
47
All those in favor of opening the speaker's list with a speaking time of two minutes?
48
All those opposed?
49
This motion passes.
50
Please raise your placard if you would like to be added to the speaker's Canada?
51
Okay, Brazil, since you proposed the motion, you may go first.
52
The delegation of Brazil would like to propose
53
that the order of discussion for this session be environmental sustainability followed by space exploration.
54
The nation of Brazil has a rich and diverse biodiversity
55
that is in danger of being wiped off the earth if nothing is done.
56
Space exploration, while important to scientific discovery, does not have the same immediate effect on the world that environmental sustainability does.
57
Thank you.
58
Brazil would like to yield the rest of its time to the chair.
59
Thank you delegates.
60
Motion to be added to the speakers list.
61
Noted.
62
Are there any other points or motions on the floor?
63
Seeing none, we will continue with the speakers list.
64
Canada, you have the floor.
65
The delegation from Canada believes that the environmental sustainability issue we see in our world should be debated first, then followed by space exploration.
66
Canada believes that the exploration of space is by far a less pressing issue than the impending disasters
67
and exponentially irreversible issues we see in environmental sustainability.
68
Thank you for listening and Canada now yields its time to the Delegate of China.
69
That is in order.
70
China, you have Canada's remaining time of one minute.
71
Thank you, Chair.
72
The Delegate of China agrees with the Delegation of Canada
73
that environmental environmental sustainability is far more pressing as an issue than space exploration.
74
The issue requires immediate actions and collaboration among all the states.
75
Thank you, Chair.
76
I yield the time to the Chair.
77
Thank you.
78
Delegate from Ukraine.
79
Thank you, Chair.
80
The Delegation of Ukraine also agrees that space exploration is not a pressing issue
81
and that the cover topic should simply be environmental.
82
protection and sustainability.
83
I yield the rest of my time with any questions.
84
Any questions?
85
Yes, Canada.
86
The candidate delegate would like to ask
87
if you are opposed to eventually debating space exploration or do you think we should not cover it at all?
88
I believe we could benefit from using the extra time and devoting it to simply environmental sustainability.
89
Okay, thank you.
90
Are there any points or motions on the floor?
91
Yes, Brazil.
92
Motion to close the speaker's list?
93
Is there a second?
94
Thank you, Canada.
95
All those in favour?
96
All those opposed?
97
This motion passes.
98
The speakers list is now closed.
99
Are there any points or motions on the floor?
100
If you notice, when you are finished speaking, if you have extra time, you must yield it or give it away.
101
You can yield your time to the chair, who just continues with committee, to another delegate, maybe an ally of yours, or to questions.
102
This happens not just with the speakers list, but in any formal debate where you have speaking time.
103
In MUN, you can't just start talking about anything.
104
You need an agenda.
105
Setting an agenda can happen immediately after calling roll or after a speakers list debate.
106
Brazil.
107
Motion to set the agenda to environmental sustainability followed by space exploration.
108
All those in favor?
109
All those opposed?
110
This motion is in order and passes.
111
We will start debate on the topic of environmental sustainability.
112
When you want to move on to the next agenda topic, you motion in debate on this agenda topic and proceed to the next one.
113
More on ending debate later.
114
Now that you have an agenda topic, you may begin debate on that topic.
115
If you want, you can motion for another speakers list, this time specifically on the topic, or you can motion for another type of debate.
116
The first one we will show is a moderated caucus.
117
Delegates will raise their placards to be called on to speak, and the chair will call on speakers one by one until the moderated caucus has expired.
118
Moderated caucuses must have a specified subtopic, a speaking time for each speech, and full length for the caucus time.
119
The delegate who motioned for the caucus may go first, or they may yield their time to the chair if they don't want to speak.
120
Now that the agenda is set, are there any points or motions on the floor?
121
Yes, Canada.
122
Canada moves for a moderate caucus of 10 minutes with a one minute speaking time on the topic of changing sea levels.
123
Thank you, Canada.
124
Are there any other points or motions on the floor at this time.
125
Yes, Ukraine.
126
Motion for a 10 -minute moderated caucus with a 45 -second speaking time to discuss the rapid rise of global temperature.
127
Unfortunately, that motion is not in order.
128
The speaking time does not divide into the overall time for the moderated caucus.
129
Would you like to amend your motion?
130
During a moderated caucus, it is important
131
that the length of the individual speeches divides into the overall time proposed for the whole moderated caucus.
132
Yes, I will amend to a 10 -minute moderated caucus with a one -minute speaking time on the same topic.
133
That motion is in order.
134
Are there any other points or motions on the floor?
135
Yes, Brazil.
136
Motion for a nine -minute moderate caucus with 45 seconds speaking time to discuss the Paris Climate Accords.
137
That motion is in order.
138
We will now vote on the motions in order from most disruptive to least disruptive.
139
Motions must be voted on in order of most disruptive to the committee to least disruptive.
140
You can find the full order in the resources that accompany this video, but when voting between moderated caucuses, the moderated caucus with most speakers should be voted on first.
141
First is Brazil's motion for a nine -minute moderated caucus with 45 seconds speaking time to discuss the Paris climate accords.
142
All those in favor, please raise your placards now.
143
All those opposed?
144
As we have four delegates and this is procedural vote, we need three votes to pass the motion, which is 50 % plus one.
145
This motion does not pass.
146
Next Next is Canada's motion for a moderated caucus for 10
147
minutes with a 1 minute speaking time on the topic of changing sea levels.
148
All those in favour?
149
All those opposed?
150
This motion also doesn't pass.
151
Finally, we will vote on Ukraine's motion for a 10 minute moderated
152
caucus with a 1 minute speaking time to discuss the rapid rise of global temperature.
153
All those in favour, please raise your placards now.
154
All those opposed?
155
This motion clearly passes.
156
Delegates, we are now in a 10 -minute moderated caucus with a speaking time of one minute.
157
I will tap the gavel quietly when you have 10 seconds left.
158
Ukraine, you now have the floor.
159
Thank you, Chair.
160
The rapid rise of global temperature we have seen over the past few years is an issue that we cannot ignore anymore.
161
This is something that we must prepare for for our future generation.
162
We must protect the world.
163
over the past few years, we've seen changes in the mainstream.
164
Delegate, I'm sorry your time has expired.
165
All those who should speak in this moderate pockets, we still have time for four more speakers.
166
Yes, China.
167
Thank you, Chair.
168
The delegation from China wants to say that our country has been greatly impacted by the rapid rise of global temperature.
169
The evidence of this issue, and I yield my time to the Chair.
170
Thank you, Delegate.
171
The time for this moderated caucus has elapsed.
172
Are there any points or motions on the floor?
173
In contrast, an unmoderated caucus is where there is no formal speaking order.
174
Delegates may speak freely, move about and speak with other delegates privately, go to the restroom if needed, write draft resolutions, and so on.
175
An unmoderated caucus is more disruptive to debate than a moderated caucus, so it should be voted on before moderated caucuses, regardless of when the speaker proposed the motion.
176
Yes, Brazil.
177
The delegate from Brazil moves for a 15 -minute unmoderated caucus to discuss draft 1 .0.
178
That motion is in order.
179
Is there a second?
180
Thank you, Canada.
181
All those in favor, please raise your placards now.
182
That motion clearly passes.
183
Delegates, we are now in a 15 -minute unmoderated caucus.
184
You are now free to get up and discuss the draft with other delegates.
185
Delegates, the time for this unmoderated caucus has elapsed.
186
Please return to your seats.
187
Are there any points or motions on the floor?
188
Yes, you can.
189
Motion to extend the unmoderated caucus by five more minutes for the purposes of finishing writing the draft resolution.
190
Is there a second?
191
Thanks Brazil.
192
All those in favor?
193
All those opposed?
194
This motion passes.
195
You have five more minutes.
196
Aside from motions, there are a few other things you can say in committee.
197
They are called points because they aren't asking for anything to happen to the debate or flow of committee.
198
This point of inquiry is used for when you have a question about something.
199
It can be procedural or about the committee procedures or about the topic.
200
You can raise your placard and say this at any time, but do not interrupt a speaker.
201
Excuse me, point of inquiry, how long is left remaining in this committee session?
202
We have 45 minutes left.
203
Thank you.
204
The point of personal privilege is for questions or permissions relating to your personal comfort, such as in its use to go to the bathroom, open a window, or for the speaker to speak louder.
205
Yeah, China?
206
Point of personal privilege.
207
Could I step out to use the bathroom?
208
Mm -hmm, granted.
209
A point of information is for when you need something clarified.
210
Mm -hmm, personal.
211
Point of information.
212
Which draft resolution are we discussing?
213
We are discussing the draft resolution called disaster relief.
214
A point of order is used
215
when the delegate believes there has been a mistake in committee procedure that needs to be corrected.
216
Point of order?
217
As we voted for two speeches, four and two against, before we vote on the resolution, we should have one more speaker speaking against the resolution.
218
Oh, right.
219
Thank you, delegate.
220
All those wishing to speak against this resolution.
221
A right of reply is the right to speak to another delegate directly talking about your country, usually when a delegate feels personally insulted by another delegate's speech.
222
If another delegate directly calls out your country, you can use this to respond and defend your nation.
223
It can be granted by the chair.
224
We need to set strict limits on carbon emissions and actually monitor those emissions and hold countries accountable via impartial international monitors.
225
We cannot let countries such as China act underhandedly
226
and use our own monitors to falsify information about emission levels and continue to Right of reply?
227
Granted.
228
We maintain our right as a sovereign nation to decide which international bodies have access to state information and which do not.
229
Canada, please continue.
230
Thank you, Chair.
231
Once you've debated and used time in unmoderated caucuses to write a draft resolution,
232
have enough sponsors or authors in some city tories or supporters to your draft resolution, you must formally introduce it to the committee.
233
After it is read aloud, typically the chair allows time for questions about the resolution.
234
Are there any points or motions on the floor?
235
Yes, Ukraine.
236
Motion to introduce draft resolution drug trafficking prevention and have two minutes for questions afterwards.
237
Is there a second?
238
Thank you, Brazil.
239
All those in favor?
240
All those opposed?
241
This motion passes.
242
Ukraine, please let me read to make sure you have enough sponsors and signatories.
243
And then please read your resolution aloud to the committee.
244
Thank you, Chair.
245
So the sponsors of this resolution are the delegations of Ukraine and Canada, and the signatories are the delegations of Brazil and China on the topic of drug trafficking prevention.
246
So recalling the United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988, in particular it's Article 12,
247
which lays down the principles and psychotropic substances.
248
Thank you, Ukraine.
249
You now have two minutes for questions.
250
After it has been introduced, the committee can use moderated or unmoderated caucuses to discuss the resolution.
251
Edits to a draft resolution are called amendments.
252
You can motion to add an amendment after it has been introduced.
253
If the authors agree with the amendment, it is called a friendly amendment and is automatically added to the draft resolution.
254
If the authors do not agree, it is an unfriendly amendment and must be voted on by the committee.
255
Motion to add amendment.
256
Delegate, please be recognized by the chair.
257
Yes, Brazil.
258
The delegation from Brazil would like to motion to add amendment to the draft resolution saying
259
that states wishing to exempt themselves from individual substances, classifications may do so to align with their national legislation.
260
Ukraine, is this amendment friendly?
261
No, it's not.
262
Okay, we shall put it to a vote.
263
All those in favor of adding this amendment to the draft resolution.
264
All those opposed, this amendment still passes and is added to the draft resolution.
265
Now, if Ukraine doesn't want their draft resolution to pass with this new unfriendly amendment, they could withdraw the resolution via a motion,
266
argue why this point is important in a moderated or unmoderated caucus, negotiate with other states over its non -inclusion, and reintroduce the new draft resolution.
267
When the committee is ready to vote on a resolution, they first must vote to start voting by moving its voting procedure.
268
Remember that there can be more than one resolution being discussed, so be sure to specify if voting procedures are starting for all resolutions,
269
just one, or in a particular order.
270
You can also add a 2 -4, 2 -against debate before the final vote
271
if you need a chance to persuade other delegates the reasons to vote for or against it.
272
A 2 -4, 2 -against can also be used when debating agenda order.
273
Are there any points or motions on the floor?
274
Yes, China.
275
Motions to move into voting procedures on all introduced resolutions.
276
Is there a second?
277
I'm sorry, without a second, this motion fails.
278
Are there any points or motions on the floor?
279
Yes, Canada.
280
Motion to move into voting procedures for the draft resolution of rising sea levels with a 2 -4 -2 -against argument.
281
Is there a second?
282

284
All those opposed?
285
This motion passes.
286
Canada, would you like to speak in this argument?
287
Yes, I'll speak in favour.
288
Okay, noted.
289
Please raise your placard if you would also like to speak in this debate.
290
Ukraine?
291
I saw your placard first.
292
Now raise your placard if you'd like to speak against.
293
Okay, China and Brazil.
294
We shall alternate for and against speakers.
295
Canada, you may go first.
296
You have two minutes.
297
Thank you.
298
Canada, as a large country with multiple oceans along its borders, has seen a huge issue in our country.
299
Okay, now that the 242 against time has elapsed, we are now in voting procedures for the resolution Rising Sea Levels.
300
Finally, it's time to vote on the resolution.
301
Typically delegates vote in favor or against with their placard like for other motions But
302
if instead a delegate motions to enter into roll call voting
303
procedures Then each country is called from the roll call list
304
and they state their voting preference as yay in favor nay against or abstain
305
Remember that those
306
that were present in voting during roll call at the beginning of the committee may not abstain from a substantive vote
307
The motion for a roll call vote on draft resolution sanctions on Venezuela has passed.
308

317
that were present in voting during roll call at the beginning of committee may not abstain from a substantive vote.
318
Canada.
319
Abstaining.
320
You may not abstain as you are present in voting at the beginning of committee.
321
Oh, um, the nay.
322
Say it's time for lunch or a break.
323
This is how you pause committee, knowing that you'll resume the same topic at the same conference soon.
324
Yes, China.
325
Motion to suspend debate until the next committee session?
326
Is there a second?
327
And all those in favor?
328
Alright, all those opposed?
329
This motion passes.
330

Warum man mit diesem Video das Sprechen übt?
Model United Nations (MUN) ist ein perfekter Kontext, um Englisch sprechen zu üben – hier kombiniert man formelle Sprache mit strategischem Kommunizieren. Das Video zeigt realistische Debattenabläufe, die du direkt übernehmen kannst: von Anträgen bis zur Abstimmung. Mit shadowspeak oder shadowing (dem Nachsprechen) trainierst du nicht nur Aussprache, sondern auch Rhythmus und Intonation in einem lebendigen Setting. Es sind kleine, schnelle Erfolge, die dich schnell fortschreiten lassen!
Grammatik & Ausdrücke im Kontext
Im Video tauchen nützliche Strukturen auf, die du sofort anwenden kannst:
- "Is there a motion to..." – Ein klassischer Weg, um Anträge zu stellen. Beispiel: "Is there a motion to open debate?" (Gibt es einen Antrag, die Debatte zu eröffnen?) Perfekt für formelle Gespräche.
- "All those in favor?" – Wird verwendet, um Zustimmung einzuholen. Du kannst es auch in kleineren Gruppen anwenden: "All those in favor of a short break?" (Alle, die für eine kurze Pause sind?)
- "Present in voting" – Ein spezifischer Begriff, der zeigt, dass man nur ja/nein stimmen kann. Solche Fachausdrücke erweitern deinen Wortschatz für internationale Szenarien.
Häufige Aussprachefallen
Einige Wörter im Video können tricky sein – achte darauf:
- "Caucuses" – Wird oft falsch betont. Richtig: /ˈkɔːkəsɪz/ (mit Betonung auf dem ersten Silben). Übe es mit shadowing, um den Rhythmus zu lernen.
- "Placard" – Das "a" wird lang gesprochen: /ˈplækɑːd/. Vermeide es, es wie "plakat" zu sagen.
- "Abstain" – Die Endung "-ain" klingt wie "ein": /əbˈsteɪn/. Übe das Nachsprechen, um die Aussprache flüssig zu machen.
Mit einem shadowing site oder direkt über das Video kannst du diese Sätze und Wörter wiederholen – und so schnell dein Englisch sprechen verbessern. Probier's aus – jede Übung bringt dich weiter!
Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | has expired · have seen · we've seen |
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | are called · is called · be added |
| Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache | motion, which is · those who should |
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
