Preparing for LIMUN
We understand that preparing for MUN conferences, especially conferences as big as LIMUN, can get daunting for beginner and experienced delegates alike. We pride ourselves in offering the best possible academic experience for our delegates, and as such, the University Conference Secretariat has put together a series of guides that should help demystify the conference process. On this page, you will find our official and most authoritative set of rules governing the conduct of debate, called the LIMUN Rules of Procedure. You will also find a set of guides on producing high-impact written submissions and preparing for MUN debates through research.
Rules of Procedure (RoP)
The LIMUN Rules of Procedure (RoP) is the authoritative set of rules that governs every aspect of the debate experience at LIMUN. If at any time there is doubt about the procedure during the conference weekend, the procedure in the RoP document will be used.
