Center for International and Regional Studies

During this conference,

I will do my best to find out as much as I can about the country or organization I am representing.

I will converse with my peers from countries around the world in a civilized and respectful manner.

Despite multiparty and often heated debates that will make up discussions in the various committees, I will try to remain calm and composed.

I will respect the fact that people hailing from different cultures have differing conceptions of the norms of social interaction, and will not only adapt to that but take it as an opportunity to enhance my inter-cultural IQ.
