To act in character also entails displaying respect for the opinions and ideas of fellow delegates, even if these opinions and ideas conflict with a given delegate’s own country's priorities.
Collaborate with fellow delegates whenever possible.
Head Delegates
If assigned to a committee, follow the delegates expectations. If serving solely in an advisory role, follow the faculty expectations.

Guests are required to adhere to the same expectations as all other conference attendees.
Guests serve as observers.
Undiplomatic behaviour and Discrimination,
Disrespectful behaviours in committee should first be addressed by attendees directly with one another or through their faculty advisor or head delegate. Repeated instances of undiplomatic behaviour may be called to the attention of conference organizers by faculty advisors or head delegates through our online reporting form.
Sexual harassment and discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, age, or disability are not acceptable. Such acts are incompatible with DISMUN’s educational mission and are a violation of our Conduct Expectations.
Dress Code
All clothing must portray professionalism as expected in diplomatic settings. If attire is deemed inappropriate by DISMUN staff, individuals may be asked to leave the session and return with appropriate attire.
Professional business attire is a business jacket, dress shirt, tie, slacks/skirt/dress, and dress shoes. Professional dress expectations require that dresses and skirts be knee length. Delegates should be dressed in professional business attire that reflects their self-identified gender.
It is not appropriate to display any school or national symbols such as flags, pins, crests, etc. on your person during sessions. All UN symbols are acceptable.
Traditional dress is permitted only for delegations in whose home countries it is considered professional business dress. DISMUN will not tolerate any attempt to portray a character using traditional cultural attire as a costume.
Faculty advisors, delegation leaders, guests, and volunteer staff serve as role models for delegates. They too are required to dress in professional business attire while participating in scheduled conference sessions.
Safety and Security
Your safety and security are your personal responsibility. Take full advantage of this unique opportunity in a responsible manner. Please do not leave your computer or other personal electronic devices unattended. Remove conference badges when leaving the hotel. Refrain from any sort of substance abuse. Use common sense.
