The RDIAS Model United Nations [RDIAS MUN] Conference was established in the year 2018 with the goal of empowering the youth to help shape a better tomorrow for a sustainable society. Looking at the enthusiasm of the delegates in the first two sessions, we launched the premier edition of RDIAS International MUN under the flagship event of ‘RDIAS Global Summit’. Going by the overwhelming response of the stakeholders, we now return with the Fifth edition of the event. RDIAS Global Summit 5.0 will witness speakers from around the globe debate on the most pressing issues concerning masses. With the delegates divided into four core committees and an international press, issues pertinent to the recent scenarios will be discussed.
The Summit is designed in such a way as to provide prospects to harness and advance opportunities for the leaders of tomorrow. It aims to encourage aspiring premiers by offering them a platform to exhibit their speech and diplomatic skills. From debates on economic conflicts to international security threats to global social crises, MUN addresses real world concerns to equip the participating young adults with practical and applicable expertise.
The theme of the event is concomitant with this year’s theme for United Nations General Assembly’s 79th Session, i.e., “Leaving no one behind: acting together for the advancement of peace, sustainable development and human dignity for present and future generations”.
SECRETARIAT
RDIAS Global Summit 5.0
About me: The world’s a stage where we can be the characters that we wish to play but are not able to pull that off. We can improve the world and make a difference, but we choose to stay silent and disappoint others. I enjoy traveling to different locations, especially when it comes to meeting new people, which continues to inspire me to participate in MUNs where I can meet new people and convey my viewpoints through debates and discussions. My favorite part of participating in MUNs is getting to know new people and being able to engage with them in conversation about diplomacy, as it’s great to have a platform where one can converse with like-minded individuals and learn with them. I started participating in MUNs with the thought that I could change at least one mindset, as MUNs work so gracefully and there are so many diverse exercises to participate in and grow from. There is destruction everywhere and we seem to sit and want to be at the top and be superior unless it has a purpose for them. I believe that we can only make a difference in society when we ourselves want to.
Bhavyanshi Goel
Secretary-General
About me: What it truly takes for our community to change is unity; we are the upcoming generation who have the opportunity to meet new people. We are at the smallest level and that is exactly where we should start. If we stay united, we can hope for a better world in the future. I enjoy debating since it helps me convey my ideas and perspectives, and it is this zeal that propels me to participate in MUNs, where I can express my convictions through discussions. From the time I began partaking in MUNs, I simply cherished the entire experience, which persuaded me to take an interest considerably more. Like me, I want others to be able to voice their opinions and be able to get an accessible platform for public speaking.
I believe it is the most powerful and effective endeavor for preparing today’s youth to prosper in a globalized society. Model UN allows individuals to learn about the world, strengthen their public speaking skills, enhance their social competence, and develop their leadership potential.
D Sarvani
Director General
About me: To be honest, I consider myself honored to be responsible for hosting a MUN where individuals can gather together and assert their beliefs and ideas. I am an opinionated person who I believe makes me stand apart from the crowd and encourages me to be a better citizen, which is why I chose this platform.
I believe that everyone has their own remarkable college experience; I lived mine by learning, practicing, and strengthening my public speaking skills. There is no right or wrong way to go about experiencing it. But what is important is looking to learn and getting to know, and MUNs, in my opinion, are the best opportunities we have as through MUNs we can get youths to acknowledge how the UN works by replicating it and having them represent different countries and solve global issues.

All India Political Parties Meet:
Agenda: “ Deliberation upon implementation of Uniform Civil Code in the nation”
Dear Delegates, Greetings from the Executive Board!
It is an honor to represent the All India Political Parties Meet Executive Board at RDIAS MUN for the World Summit 5.0. To aid your study, we are introducing the committee’s agenda to you right now. By no means should this material restrict the scope of your investigation. This guide is just an introduction to the agenda and serves as the starting point for your research. We expect you to be thoroughly researched about your portfolios as well as your party’s stand on the agenda at large. Under no circumstances can this document be cited as substantial proof for any argument put forth, when the committee is in session. All the data must be analyzed and interpreted by all to put forward a constructive argument. Feel free to revert to the executive
About the agenda (AIPPM):
India is a secular country where the Constitution provides the right to freedom of religion. However, this has led to a complex legal system where different religious communities have their own set of laws governing personal matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption. This has created disparities and inequalities in the legal system, where people belonging to different religions are subject to different laws. To address this issue, there has been a longstanding demand for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India. A UCC would provide a common set of laws for all citizens, irrespective of their religion. It would ensure equal rights and opportunities for all individuals and promote national integration. The implementation of a UCC has been a contentious issue in India for decades. While some argue that it is necessary to promote social and gender equality, others believe that it would violate the religious freedom of citizens. The Indian Constitution under Article 44 directs the state to strive towards the implementation of a UCC. However, it is a matter of state jurisdiction, and the implementation of a UCC is dependent on the political will of individual states. In the committee, we recommend examining the progress made by various states in India towards implementing a UCC.
The issue of implementing a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India has been a contentious and complex issue for decades. The problem arises from the fact that India is a secular country with a diverse population comprising people from different religious and cultural backgrounds. Each religious community has its own set of personal laws governing matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption. As a result, there is a lack of uniformity in the legal system, and citizens belonging to different religions are subject to different laws. This has led to disparities and inequalities in the legal system and has been a cause of social and political restlessness. The agenda provides an opportunity for delegates to foster solutions to such issues.

About the Agenda (UNGA)
The digitization of global infrastructure has revolutionized the landscape of conflict, giving rise to a new paradigm known as cyber warfare. This contemporary form of conflict entails both state and non-state actors utilizing digital technologies to inflict damage, disrupt critical systems, and compromise the security frameworks of rival nations. Traditional international law, which has primarily concentrated on governing conventional armed conflicts, is now confronted with the urgent necessity to address the complexities and unique challenges posed by cyber warfare.
However, significant legal gaps persist, rendering these instruments insufficient. Current legal provisions lack precise definitions of cyber warfare and clear guidelines for the attribution of cyberattacks, thus complicating the enforcement of accountability measures. This agenda aims to examine the existing international legal framework regulating cyber warfare, assess advancements in cybersecurity laws, and highlight the critical shortcomings in the current system. Furthermore, it emphasizes the pressing need for the development of new, comprehensive legal norms tailored to address the multifaceted nature of cyber conflicts. Given the increasing significance of digital security in global relations, fostering international cooperation is imperative to bridging these gaps and constructing a robust legal architecture for regulating cyber warfare.

About the Agenda (UNCSW)
Women’s autonomy in healthcare decision-making has been gaining popularity due to its significance in terms of both human rights and healthcare outcomes. One’s autonomy is defined as the individual’s technical, social, and psychological capacity to freely decide on matters about his or her own personal concerns. With regards to autonomy in healthcare decision-making, it is one’s ability and freedom to act or make decisions for his or her self and their dependents’ lives in an unrestricted manner while having unlimited access to relevant information and healthcare services. However, respecting autonomy is more complicated since most people’s self-definition and decision-making processes are heavily influenced by the complex social tie-ins within their lives. Relationships between two people, especially husbands and wives, constitute one of the most common types of social ties-ins that may be involved in the process of decision-making. This relationship may influence how an individual makes decisions on various issues, including the provision of medical care.
Women’s autonomy significantly impacts health-related outcomes, leading to increased healthcare visits, treatment, and adulthood survival. Empowering women in healthcare decision-making and adequate utilization can reduce morbidity and mortality rates in mothers and their children. Therefore, this agenda involves discussions to identify factors that influence women’s autonomy in healthcare decision-making and reproductive issues affecting women.

About the agenda (UNHRC)
Promoting Gender Equality and Human Rights in conflicting zones presents a complex challenge that requires a multi-faceted approach involving international organizations, governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and local communities. Here are some key considerations and strategies for addressing human rights violations in such contexts:
International Legal Framework: Upholding and enforcing international humanitarian law (IHL) and human rights law is essential for protecting civilians in conflict zones. This includes adherence to treaties such as the Geneva Conventions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which establish standards for the treatment of civilians, prisoners of war, and other individuals affected by armed conflict.
Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution: Resolving conflicts through peaceful means and diplomatic negotiations is critical for preventing further human rights violations. This may involve mediation efforts by international organizations, diplomatic initiatives by governments, and grassroots peacebuilding initiatives led by civil society organizations.
Accountability and Justice: Holding perpetrators of human rights violations accountable for their actions is essential for promoting justice and preventing future abuses. This may involve establishing mechanisms for investigating and prosecuting war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, as well as providing reparations to victims.
Humanitarian Access: Facilitating safe and unhindered access for humanitarian organizations to deliver aid to conflict-affected populations is crucial. This requires cooperation from all parties to the conflict to ensure the protection of humanitarian workers and the delivery of life-saving assistance to those in need.
Protection of Humanitarian Workers: Ensuring the safety and security of humanitarian workers operating in conflict zones is essential for the effective delivery of aid. This may involve providing training, resources, and support to humanitarian organizations, as well as implementing measures to prevent attacks on aid workers and humanitarian facilities.
with interethnic dialogue, and fostering community-led initiatives for healing and reconciliation. Empowerment of Civil Society: Supporting and empowering civil society organizations, including human rights defenders and grassroots activists, is crucial for promoting human rights and accountability in conflict zones. This may involve providing funding, training, and protection to civil society actors working on human rights issues.
Protection of Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs): Ensuring the protection and rights of refugees and IDPs fleeing conflict is essential. This includes providing access to asylum, protection from refoulement, and assistance with resettlement, as well as addressing the root causes of displacement and supporting durable solutions for refugees and IDPs.
Prevention of Human Rights Violations: Taking proactive measures to prevent human rights violations before they occur is essential for protecting vulnerable populations in conflict zones.
This may involve early warning systems, conflict prevention initiatives, and efforts to address the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, inequality, and marginalization. Overall, protecting human rights in conflicting zones requires a comprehensive and coordinated approach that addresses the root causes of conflict, promotes accountability and justice, and empowers affected communities to rebuild their lives in safety and dignity
International Press:
About the Committee
The International Press was established in the year 1948 in the UN, and it has always strived to bring out the truth to the people. The Press has its own stand in providing factual and enlightening information, which frees people from ignorance thereby functioning as an investigative and versatile form of communication for the masses. The International Press endeavors in promoting awareness and to wake up the consciousness of the human mind to the reality and authenticity about the events occurring in the world. It works tirelessly and with diligence in providing the truth, disclosing and elucidating on the debate among the delegates of the notable committee. The most important function is that it acts a watchdog, and keeps the
decision makers in line, and holds them answerable and responsible for any kind of actions taken. Thus the International Press, with the collaboration of reporters, and photographers has always been an unconventional way of information, knowledge, realism, and a humane approach. The International Press has always followed the path of truth and certainty, because of which it is verifiable and reliable. It has remained strong in its stance, and even brought out the dilemmas and conspiracies in the public realm. Through the support of various modes of communication, co-operation, and elucidation, the delegates of International Press act in a liberated and unconventional way with authorization to cover up all attributes and features of the MUN conference.
Forms of Media
There are many different types of media, but they can be divided into two categories: textual and visual. Textual media refers to formats that only include written text. Except for informal opinion articles, which reporters can employ to write whittier, funny, and innovative pieces, they normally don’t have much room for comedy and are primarily formal. Articles and interviews are examples of textual media. Visual media is more appealing, eye-catching, and artistic than other types of media. They incorporate the use of as little text as possible and as much imagery as possible. They are, however, more difficult to portray because the reporter must transmit the message clearly for easy interpretation. Illustrations, pictures, films, and visual graphics are examples of visual media.
Textual Media
Digital media such as social media, blogs, visual graphics, television channels, and so on, as well as classic print media such as books, newspapers, and so on, are all examples of modern media forms. Reporters will have the ability to provide content in such modern formats this year. Delegates from the international press should be able to provide a variety of written content, including news stories, opinion pieces on committee debates, interviews, and casual articles. For a reporter, getting basic facts and information wrong can be dangerous, so comprehending the circumstances and the problems being debated in the committee is critical. If a reporter is unable to do so, he or she should approach the dais with a letter requesting explanation. However, the reporter must be present in the committee for the entire session or for an hour or two, depending on the content he or she wishes to publish, in order to acquire detailed and accurate information about the committee procedures. A refined and quality piece will be free of factual inaccuracies and assumptions, will include quotes and interviews, and will be a unique work. The types of textual content that can be presented in the International Press are as follows.
News Pieces
The most prevalent form of reporting is news articles. They are fact-based articles that state crucial details regarding a committee’s procedures, some background information, and information about the committee’s agenda. Remember that every piece must meet a certain level of accuracy. Reporters should take care to get the facts straight, and if in question, they should seek clarification from the delegate or the Executive Board mentioned. The majority of the writing for the newsletter will be news reporting, based on the Reporters’ observations of debates, caucuses, resolutions, press releases, and interviews during the numerous RDIAS MUN committee simulations.
Opinion Pieces
The reporter’s viewpoint on a topic is usually expressed in opinion pieces. An excellent opinion piece contains a compelling idea as well as a set of equally compelling justifications. Because the facts and views offered in an opinion piece are judged, reporters must carefully consider the case they will make and how it will be presented in order to engage a larger audience. After they’ve finished reporting from the council, reporters can contribute Op-Eds for the newsletter, which may include their thoughts on the agenda. Editorials or op-eds do not need to include details about what happened in the council/committee; instead, they should focus on the author’s thoughts on the topic at hand. The quality of editorials and op-eds must be extremely good.
Writing and expression, as well as publication, will be at the Editorial Board’s discretion. Editorials and Op-Eds, to put it plainly, differ from news pieces in terms of substance rather than events.
Interviews
Another typical approach of acquiring information and presenting data is through interviews. During breaks or lobbying sessions, reporters may question delegates or even the Executive Board. Inside the committee room, reporters are not permitted to conduct interviews. The reporter can send a message to the individual who will be questioned and conduct the interview outside if he or she so desires. The number of questions should be kept to a bare minimum while still being significant. Reporters must also keep in mind that innovation is an important component of excellent journalism. Interviews should not be limited to committee delegates, but should also include members of the Executive Board and the Secretariat.
Interviews can cover a wide range of topics, including overall conference sentiment, expectations, committee proceedings, and even amusing, interactive quizzes. Reporters, on the other hand, should never ask an interviewee anything that is disrespectful or makes them feel uncomfortable. The interviewee has the right to refuse to answer any question and should never be forced to do so under any circumstances.
Visual Media
Journalists can cover committee meetings with visual content, such as images, films, and visual graphics, in addition to written content. Visual material is strongly supported by journalists since it is an unconventional, appealing, modern, and creative manner of reporting. The essential reporting criteria apply here as well, just as they do in textual media.
Photography
Reporters now have the option of taking images in addition to typical text reporting. Throughout the committee session, photographs of the events and the delegates are permitted. Photojournalism, on the other hand, should not be treated lightly, and a few basic guidelines should be followed. The delegates’ images should be candid and informal, as well as professional in nature. A delegate raising a placard, discussion of the resolution, and informal discussion among delegates are all examples of good committee photography.
The subjects of the photographs should not be staring directly into the camera, or else the photos would appear staged. Journalists may take photographs to accompany their articles or to publish them as a separate piece. The formal structure of photography as well as its storytelling value will be considered while judging it. Journalists must carry their own cameras as well as any necessary cables for photo transfer. RDIAS MUN is not liable for any missing or damaged items.
Research Methodology
You can use the following guidelines for effective research. You must be adequately prepared to understand the debate.

MUN programs can have a significant impact on students’ personal development, helping them build a range of valuable qualities and skills. One of the most notable benefits of MUN is that it can help students develop greater confidence. Through public speaking, debates, negotiations, and other activities, students can become more assertive and self-assured, which can translate into other areas of their lives. Additionally, MUN can help students develop greater empathy by requiring them to understand and represent the perspectives of other countries and cultures. This can make students more open-minded, tolerant, and accepting of others.
MUN programs are also often student-led, which provides opportunities for students to develop leadership skills such as delegation, organization, and communication. These skills can be highly valuable in many areas of their lives, including their academic and professional pursuits, as well as their personal relationships and interactions with others. MUN also requires students to analyse complex global issues from multiple perspectives, helping them develop critical thinking skills that can make them more independent and analytical in their thinking.
Another important aspect of MUN is its emphasis on diplomacy and negotiation. By working with other delegates to develop solutions to complex global problems, students can develop greater diplomacy and conflict resolution skills that can be valuable in many personal and professional settings. Finally, MUN exposes students to a wide range of global issues and perspectives, helping them develop a greater awareness of the world and their place in it. This can make students more informed and engaged citizens of the world, and help them understand their role in promoting positive change.
Overall, MUN programs can have a significant impact on students’ personal development, helping them become more confident, empathetic, and effective leaders, while also developing critical thinking, diplomacy, and international awareness skills. These qualities and skills can be valuable in many areas of their lives, and can help students become more engaged, informed, and responsible citizens of the world
Garima Sharma
Student Affairs Team
RDIAS MUN
Preparing for an MUN competition can be a challenging but rewarding process. To begin with, students should thoroughly research their assigned country’s stance on the issues that will be discussed. This will enable them to better understand their country’s priorities and interests and allow them to effectively represent their country’s position during the debates. Students should also take the time to study the rules and procedures of MUN, including the various types of speeches and debates, as well as how to make motions and amendments.
Practicing public speaking and debating skills is also essential for success in MUN. Students can practice by participating in mock debates or public speaking exercises, either alone or with others. Developing negotiation and diplomacy skills is also important, as these skills will be critical during the negotiations that take place during the competition.
To stay up-to-date with the latest global issues, students should also make a habit of reading newspapers, following relevant social media accounts, and watching news programs. This will help them stay informed and knowledgeable about current events and issues, and allow them to contribute meaningfully during the debates.
Finally, networking with other participants is also an important aspect of preparing for MUN. Building relationships with other participants, both before and during the competition, can help students learn from others, share ideas, and make valuable connections that can benefit them in future MUN competitions or other endeavors.
In summary, effective preparation for MUN requires a combination of research, practice, and networking. By putting in the time and effort required to develop their knowledge and skills, students can increase their chances of success and have a more rewarding experience during the competition.
