Mandate

Documenting, Reporting, and Analysing the Proceedings of SIMATS MUN 2026 with Journalistic Excellence

The International Press Corps is the media arm of SIMATS MUN 2026, responsible for real-time journalistic coverage and editorial documentation of all conference proceedings. IPC delegates operate as professional journalists — reporting from committee rooms, conducting delegate interviews, drafting press releases, and producing digital and written media content that captures the intellectual pulse of the conference.

Unlike traditional committees, IPC delegates represent media organisations rather than countries. The IPC provides an unparalleled opportunity for delegates with interests in journalism, communications, public relations, and digital media to develop real-world skills in fast-paced editorial environments — building a tangible professional portfolio in the process.

Rules of Procedure

All committees operate according to a standard set of MUN Rules of Procedure governing speakers lists, moderated and unmoderated caucuses, motion procedures, and voting mechanisms.

Diplomacy in Action

The committees of SIMATS MUN 2026 are designed with singular purpose — to challenge the intellect, strengthen the diplomatic character, and cultivate the globally aware leaders that our world demands. Whether deliberating on human rights in conflict zones, advancing gender equality, navigating India's most contentious policy debates, or chronicling the pulse of diplomacy through the press, every delegate will emerge transformed.
