📰 Typical Structure of the International Press Committee


(Journalists, Caricaturists & Photographers)

In conferences such as SHISMUN (Scottish High International School MUN),


the International Press team is structured into three main roles:

1. Journalists

 Write beat articles, news reports, Op-Eds, and features covering


debates, resolutions, and committee dynamics.
 Must conduct research, observe sessions, interview delegates, and
follow specified formats (e.g. naming, font, and word limits)

2. Caricaturists / Cartoonists

 Create political caricatures or cartoons that reflect the tone of


committee discussions using satire, humor, or commentary.
 Their work visually captures the conference’s dynamic debates and
thematic essence SHISMUN 2025+1NAIMUN LXIII+1.

3. Photographers

 Capture candid moments and sessions via photography, documenting


the atmosphere, delegate interaction, and committee ambiance.
 Their visuals often supplement published newsletters or social media

Writing a beat article for an MUN (Model United Nations) International Press
means crafting a short, sharp, and neutral report summarizing what
happened in a committee during a particular session. It’s like a news article
for a student political simulation—so it should sound professional,
informative, and slightly formal.

✍️HOW TO WRITE A BEAT ARTICLE FOR MUN


🧱 STRUCTURE:

markdown
CopyEdit
📰 Headline
📍 Lead (1-2 lines): What happened? Who was involved?
📖 Body (2-3 paragraphs):
- What was debated?
- Key speeches or turning points
- Any resolutions, clashes, or progress?
🎯 conclusionn (1 paragraph):
- Summary of tone or direction
- Possible predictions for next session
🧪 SAMPLE BEAT ARTICLE — UNHRC (United
Nations Human Rights Council)
Headline:

Clash of Priorities: UNHRC Debates Press Freedom vs National Security

Lead Paragraph:

In the first session of the UNHRC at Aureate MUN 2.0, fiery debates erupted
as delegates deliberated the growing tension between press freedom and
national security. Delegates from the USA, China, and Germany took
center stage with strongly opposing views.

Body Paragraph 1:

The delegate of the USA emphasized the universal right to freedom of


expression, quoting Article 19 of the UDHR and citing the need for
transparency in democracies. In contrast, the delegate of China argued for
strict regulations on media to prevent misinformation and safeguard national
sovereignty.

Body Paragraph 2:

An unmoderated caucus saw alliances beginning to form—European nations


largely aligned with the U.S., while several Asian and Middle Eastern nations
sided with China. The delegate of Norway suggested a middle ground: a
global framework for responsible journalism that protects whistleblowers yet
discourages hate speech.

Conclusion:

As the session concluded, tensions remained high, but productive dialogue


hinted at the possibility of a joint working paper. The second session is
expected to focus on drafting initial clauses for a resolution.
💡 Tips for Writing a Strong Beat Article:
✅ Be neutral. Don’t express your personal opinions.
✅ Use delegate titles, not real names (e.g., "The delegate of France" not
"Meera").
✅ Be factual. Only include what was actually said in committee.
✅ Keep it short and formal. Around 250–400 words is perfect.
✅ Sound like a reporter, not a student. Pretend you're writing for a UN
newsletter.

When you're writing a beat article for MUN, you need to use concrete
elements from the committee sessions to make it informative and realistic.
Here's a full list of what you can use in your article—and how to use it
effectively:

🧾 WHAT TO INCLUDE IN A BEAT ARTICLE


1. Delegates’ Speeches

Use:

 Quotes or summaries of important speeches.


 Highlight passionate, controversial, or unique stances.

✅ Example:

"The delegate of Russia stated, 'Any breach in cyber security is a breach in


national integrity,' sparking disagreement from Western blocs."

2. Moderated & Unmoderated Caucus Highlights

Use:

 What was discussed during these sessions.


 How delegates grouped or responded.
 Mention any blocs forming.

✅ Example:

"During the unmoderated caucus, the delegates of India, France, and Brazil
began collaborating on a working paper focusing on cyber diplomacy."

3. Key Clashes or Debates

Use:

 Any heated arguments, rebuttals, or conflicts of opinion.


 Make it dramatic, but truthful.

✅ Example:

"A tense moment arose when the delegate of Iran accused Western nations
of 'using human rights as a political tool,' prompting swift rebuttals."

4. Proposed Solutions / Working Papers

Use:

 Any draft resolutions or ideas discussed.


 Mention alliances or proposed clauses.

✅ Example:

"The working paper proposed by the Latin American bloc includes clauses on
state accountability, independent watchdogs, and press freedom
guarantees."

5. Tone and Atmosphere

Use:

 The vibe of the session: was it serious, tense, chaotic, cooperative?


 Describe the committee dynamics.

✅ Example:

"Despite the charged debate, the committee remained largely diplomatic


and constructive."

Optional Things You Can Add:


 Quotes (invent realistic ones if needed):

"Cybercrime is the new nuclear threat," declared the delegate of the UK.

"According to a 2022 UN report, over 2 billion people are affected by digital


surveillance."

 References to Real Events or Treaties:

Mention the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Paris Agreement, etc.

 Humor or satire (if allowed):

As a photographer in the International Press (IP) at a MUN like Aureate


MUN, you’re more than just someone taking pictures — you’re the visual
storyteller of the entire conference.

Here’s exactly what you can do (and should do) to stand out and succeed
in this role:

📸 1. Capture Key Moments


🔹 What to click:

 Opening & closing ceremonies


 Delegate speeches
 Moderated & unmoderated caucuses
 Chair or Executive Board moments
 Expressions — laughter, stress, debates, high-energy moments
 Behind-the-scenes — people preparing, writing, laughing off-stage

✅ Aim: Tell the story of the event without words.


🎯 2. Focus on Emotion & Action
Your job is to capture emotion (tension, passion, joy) and dynamics
(interactions, negotiations, leadership). Avoid boring photos of people just
sitting.

✅ Try:

 Candid shots > posed ones


 Reactions > speeches
 Movement > stillness

🧠 3. Understand the Committee & Agenda


 Learn the topic being debated so you can anticipate intense
moments (e.g., when Russia and USA argue in DISEC, be ready).
 Knowing alliances helps you click photos of bloc members working
together during unmoderated caucuses.

🎨 4. Be Creative with Composition


Try:

 Rule of thirds
 Close-ups of hands writing notes
 Wide shots of the whole committee
 Angle from behind the chair’s shoulder
 Frames-within-frames (using doorways or chairs)

✅ Mix candid and creative.

🧾 5. Submit with Purpose


At most MUNs, photographers are expected to:
 Submit a selection of best photos (e.g., 10–15 per day)
 Sometimes caption photos with context
 Help make the closing presentation or a photo gallery post
 Sometimes provide shots for the daily newsletter (alongside
journalists' articles)

📋 6. Tips for Photo Submission


 Rename photos clearly: CommitteeName_Delegate_Caucus.jpg
 Avoid blurry shots
 Check light/exposure before submitting
 Use editing tools lightly for contrast or brightness only (unless allowed
to go artistic)

📷 Ideal Equipment (if you can use it):


 DSLR or mirrorless camera (or a good phone camera if allowed)
 Tripod (optional)
 Extra batteries or charger
 Editing app (Lightroom, Snapseed, or native tools)

and caricature

ChatGPT said:

As a caricaturist in a MUN's International Press, your job is to capture


the spirit of the debate through art — using humor, satire, and visual
exaggeration. You’re like the political cartoonist of the conference, showing
what writers can’t say directly.

WHAT YOU DO AS A CARICATURIST IN MUN


🎯 1. Observe Committee Dynamics

Watch for:

 Funny or dramatic moments


 Delegates who are dominating, clashing, or being ironic
 Speeches that sound extreme or over-the-top
 Hypocrisy or contradictions (e.g., countries preaching peace but
pushing war)

Then… turn them into visually exaggerated comics.

✅ Example:
If the delegate of North Korea keeps interrupting everyone, you might
draw them as a giant loudspeaker drowning out others.
Or if USA and Russia are “agreeing” awkwardly, draw them shaking hands
with knives behind their backs.
🎨 2. Create 1–3 Caricatures Per Session (or
per day)
 Focus on 1 major moment or theme per cartoon.
 Can be:
o Single-panel (like memes or one-liners)
o Multi-panel comic strips (2–4 panels showing a short scene)

✅ Use speech bubbles or exaggerated features:

 Big eyes, giant heads, tiny bodies


 Flags, hats, or symbols to show countries
 Comic fonts (if digital)

✍️3. Tools You Can Use


If You Draw by Hand:

 Pencils, pens, sketchbook


 Use dark lines, bold shapes
 Click a photo or scan to submit

If You Draw Digitally:

 iPad/tablet (apps like Ibis Paint, Procreate, Sketchbook)


 Use layers and clear linework
 Export in PNG or JPEG

🧾 4. What to Submit
 1–3 caricatures per day (or per committee session)
 Title or Caption for each
o Funny or clever names:
“The Great Power Tug-of-War”
“The Delegate Who Knew Everything”
“UN or UFC?”

 Short description (optional) of what it shows

✅ Rename your file like:


UNSC_ThePowerDebate_Caricature_ByTwisha.jpg

🧠 5. Example Caricature Concepts:


Situation Caricature Idea
One delegate keeps Draw them with a megaphone glued to
interrupting their mouth
USA & China fighting over Two kids tugging on a toy labeled
tech "TikTok"
Delegates forming blocs Puzzle pieces forming a weird shape

session

💡 What Makes a Good MUN Caricature?


✅ Topical – It reflects what actually happened
✅ Creative – It’s clever and original
✅ Clear – Anyone can understand it without too much explanation
✅ Bold style – Strong lines, expressive features
✅ Funny or Satirical – Not mean, but sharp

As a delegate in a MUN, you are the official representative of a


country in a simulated UN committee. Your job is to speak, debate, and
negotiate on behalf of your assigned country’s policies—not your personal
opinions.
Here’s a full guide on what you do as a delegate, with examples and tips
to shine at a conference like Aureate MUN:

🎓 WHAT YOU DO AS A DELEGATE


🧭 1. Represent Your Country’s Position

You become that country’s diplomat. Everything you say should reflect:

 Your country’s beliefs and foreign policy


 Its allies and rivals
 Its priorities on the agenda topic

✅ Example:

If you’re China in WHO and the topic is “Global Vaccine Equity”, you’ll
support national sovereignty in healthcare and resist Western pressure—
because that matches China’s usual UN stance.

2. Speak in the Committee

You’ll do:

 Opening Speech (30 secs – 1 min):

Introduce your stance and goals.

 Moderated Caucus speeches (30–60 seconds):

Debate issues, rebut other delegates, present ideas.

 Unmoderated Caucus (informal discussion):

Form alliances, write working papers.

✅ Diplomatic tone example:


“The delegate of Brazil believes that while data privacy is essential,
international cooperation must remain at the forefront of AI regulation.”

📝 3. Draft Resolutions

You’ll help write a resolution—a formal document proposing solutions.

You should:

 Suggest clauses (solutions)


 Convince others to co-sponsor (join your draft)
 Negotiate wording and merge ideas

✅ Example clause (for UNHRC):

"Encourages the creation of an independent global body to monitor internet


censorship and promote digital rights awareness campaigns."

📦 4. Work in Blocs

 Find countries with similar views


 Team up to write a working paper or resolution
 Lobby delegates to support your draft

✅ Example bloc:
If you're India, you might align with South Africa, Brazil, and Indonesia
for tech equity or South-South cooperation.

🧠 Delegate Skills to Use


Skill How It Helps
Public
Makes your points powerful
Speaking

1. Know your country’s stance deeply
a. Use real examples, treaties, or policies.
2. Speak early and often—but with substance
a. Quality over quantity.
3. Use formal UN language
a. “The delegate of Egypt suggests…” not “I think…”
4. Lead a bloc or write a resolution
a. Even if you’re new, step up.
5. Stay active in every session
a. Ask questions, propose ideas, and write clauses.

🎤 Opening Speech Template

[goal], we propose [solution direction]. We look forward to working
collaboratively to achieve a just and effective resolution.”

If you tell me:

 Your committee
 Your country
 The agenda topic

…I’ll help you write:

 Your opening speech


 Key points and rebuttals
 Sample resolution clauses
 Smart bloc-building strategies

Let’s make sure you stand out as a confident and sharp delegate! 💼🌍

c. Violates sovereignty or causes disproportionate civilian harm;

5. Calls for annual reporting to the UN Secretary-General by all military


alliances active in conflict regions, detailing actions taken, casualties (civilian
and military), and political progress;

6. Encourages the use of regional dialogue frameworks (such as the


African Union Peace and Security Council, ASEAN Regional Forum, etc.) to
mediate potential conflicts between or within alliances;

7. Authorizes the use of UN Peace Observers to monitor activities of


alliances in highly fragile zones upon request by the host state or regional
authority;

8. Decides to remain seized of the matter.


📘 Notes:

 This sample resolution is moderate in tone, promoting accountability


without directly restricting national sovereignty.
 Clauses are non-binding unless passed in the UNSC with proper
voting procedure.
 You can adjust tone (more aggressive/passive) depending on your
country’s stance.

Here's everything you need to stand out as a delegate in UNGA on the


topic:

“Regulating Inter-State Military Alliances in Active Conflict Zones to


Uphold International Peace and Security”

🎤 PERFECT DEBATE KIT FOR DELEGATE —


UNGA
🔹 1. Opening Speech (1 min)

“Honourable Chair, esteemed delegates, and distinguished guests,

The delegate of [Your Country] recognizes that military alliances, while


historically established for collective defense, have increasingly become
tools of power projection in fragile regions—fueling escalation instead of
ensuring stability.

In active conflict zones, unregulated alliances often bypass UN mandates,


arm proxies, and undermine sovereignty. As recent history shows—from the
Middle East to Eastern Europe—such unchecked alignments have worsened
humanitarian crises and stalled peace efforts.

[Your Country] believes that a multilateral framework, under the supervision


of the United Nations, must be established to monitor, review, and
regulate military alliances involved in conflict zones. We propose
transparent reporting, civilian protection clauses, and regional dialogue
mechanisms to uphold peace.

The world does not need more coalitions of firepower—it needs


coalitions of peace.

Thank you.”

🔸 2. Key Arguments to Use During Debate

✅ 1. Military alliances are no longer just defensive—they are often


aggressive.

 They fuel proxy wars (e.g., Syria, Yemen).


 They violate UN principles by ignoring Security Council approval.
 Many alliances use conflict zones to test new weapons or tech.

✅ 2. They destabilize peace processes.

 Military alliances often ignore diplomatic channels.


 They take sides, making peace talks biased or impossible.
✅ 3. There's a lack of transparency and accountability.

 Who funds them?


 Who leads them?
 Who decides when to act?

🔸 3. Solutions to Propose (Be Diplomatic)

🟢 Create a UN Advisory Panel on Military Alliances (UN-APMA)

 Reviews alliances in conflict zones.


 Makes non-binding recommendations to ensure neutrality.

🟢 Require pre-deployment reporting of all interstate military


alliances operating in an active conflict zone.

 Countries must submit an alliance dossier to the UNGA/UNSC.


 Includes intent, forces used, and timeline.

🟢 Ensure all alliances include:

 Civilians-first clauses (zero harm policies),


 Exit strategies, and
 Peacebuilding responsibilities (not just military engagement).

🔸 4. Rebuttals (If another delegate defends alliances)

🗣 “The delegate of [X] claims that alliances ensure stability. Yet we have
seen that in most active conflicts, alliances deepen divides rather than
bridge them.”

🗣 “Sovereignty cannot be protected by overriding the sovereignty of others.


If alliances operate without regulation, where is the balance of power?”

🗣 “If these alliances truly aim for peace, then why oppose UN oversight?
Transparency should not be feared—it should be demanded.”
🔸 5. Questions to Ask Other Delegates (POIs / GSL Follow-
ups)

1. “Does the delegate believe it is acceptable for foreign alliances to


intervene in a conflict zone without UN approval?”
2. “What steps does the delegate’s country take to ensure their alliances
do not escalate conflict?”
3. “Would the delegate support a global reporting mechanism for all
inter-state military alliances in active warzones?”

🔹 6. Phrase Bank: Diplomatic Phrases to Use

Situation Phrase
Making a
“The delegate of [Country] firmly believes…”
point
Disagreeing “With due respect to the previous speaker…”
Proposing
“We propose the creation of…”
solution
Showing
“This is not just a policy failure—it is a humanitarian crisis in motion.”
urgency
Calling for “Let us not wait for another catastrophe to remind us of our
unity responsibilities as a global family.”

🏆 Bonus: How to Win “Best Delegate”

 Speak at least 3–5 times (GSL, caucuses, and POIs)


 Use facts, treaties, and examples (e.g. NATO in Libya, Saudi-led
coalition in Yemen)
 Take initiative in forming a bloc or draft resolution
 Support other delegates’ ideas diplomatically, then build on them
 Stay formal and composed even in rebuttals
