THIMUN Policy on Undiplomatic Behaviour, Bullying, Harassment, and Discrimination

Disrespectful behaviours in preparation of and during a THIMUN conference should be addressed by attendees directly or through their MUN-Director, head committee chair or one of the executive student officers. Instances of undiplomatic behaviour, bullying, harassment, or discrimination should be called to the attention of THIMUN Foundation’s Board or Staff.

All forms of undiplomatic behaviour, bullying, harassment, and discrimination are not acceptable. Such acts and behaviour are incompatible with THIMUN’s educational mission and are a violation of our values.

Consequences may include issuing a verbal reprimand, expelling violators from the conference without compensation, barring violators from future THIMUN involvement, as well as barring their respective schools from future THIMUN involvement.

The THIMUN Foundation has the right to take these or any other actions deemed appropriate in order to ensure the safe participation of all students and to uphold the values and ethos of THIMUN.

PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL SAFETY – Anti-bullying and harassment

Every THIMUN participant has the right to feel safe and included at THIMUN conferences We believe that a THIMUN conference should create a community in which all students and staff thrive, and all identities are affirmed and protected.

Definition of bullying and harassment:

Bullying and harassment include written, verbal, electronic or physical conduct that adversely affects the ability of one or more students to participate in or benefit from a THIMUN conference. It also refers to placing a student (or students) in fear of harm. This includes conduct that is based on a student’s actual or perceived race, colour, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and/or religion. This also includes conduct that targets a student because of a characteristic of a friend, family member, or other person or group with whom a student associates.

Definition of cyberbullying:
