Every team was assigned a country and based on some news flashed on the screen about different countries the participants had to defend their respective country’s stance on that particular issue. They had to convince other nations (teams) about the proposals of their interest and these proposals were subsequently voted in the meet. Proposal was deemed passed only when it has majority and “Yes” from all the five veto powers. The teams were evaluated based on the arguments, counter arguments, clarity of thoughts, concerns and feasibility of implementation.
