OUR CONFERENCE VALUES

BELONGING AS A POLICY

WIRC does not tolerate discrimination based on race, color, sex, gender identity, sexuality, ethnicity, nationality, religion, and/or ability. Abuse, harassment, and mistreatment of any kind are strictly prohibited and will be dealt with accordingly. We want any students with a curiosity for Model UN to leave our conference with a greater sense of self and the world, and treating each other equally during the conference is the first step to achieving this.

DEMILITARIZATION

WIRC is proud to be a demilitarized conference, encouraging international diplomacy while reflecting our value of supporting delegate education and personal growth. This does not mean students are asked to ignore the realities of global violence; rather, demilitarization focuses on preventing the use of excess force during committee. Delegates are encouraged to focus on pursuing peace-centered policies - such as de-escalating conflict, supporting historically marginalized identities, and expanding the rights of communities - rather than pursuing violent action.
