A Diplomatic Protest is a formalized grievance against an action, verbal or non-verbal, directed from one delegate to another, such as but not limit to defamation, demoralization of character, or direct assault against a country’s character or culture.
A Diplomatic Protest on a particular claim, situation, or issue may only be reported once and may not be raised as a protest once it has been considered null and void.
To properly assess a Diplomatic Protest, a delegate must notify his or her Chairperson. Upon notification of the Chairperson, the delegate must prepare a comprehensive incident report addressed to the Chairperson who will to review with members of the Dais for approval to progress to the next process.
If the members of the Dais deem the statement valid, the defendant will be insisted to prepare an incident report which should be submitted within the day of its request. If the Dais deems the incident report invalid, it is nullified and void.
Section 5
After submitting both incident reports, they will be cross-referenced to ensure its consistency. If the incident reports are found to be inconsistent, the reports and Protest will be nullified and void. If both or all reports concerning the particular claim match, the concerned parties will be required to prepare a report of their credentials to be submitted to the Secretary-General together with the incident reports they have prepared.
Section 6
The Secretary-General will then call for a hearing on the case in which the parties will be questioned and will report to the Secretariat. After hearing the case, the Secretariat who will act as the credentials committee will then decide on the verdict in a confidential meeting and notify the members of the Dais of the concerned committee or committees of the parties no later than one hour after the hearing has taken place.

AMENDMENTS

When a sponsor has abandoned a working paper, he or she may become a sponsor of a different working paper.
The power to summon delegates from other committees rests solely with the Security Council. The Security Council may NOT summon any of its own delegates.
The use of the summoning rights is limited to three (3) delegates per agenda. For every use of the rights, the delegates must be voted upon separately and each vote will count for one attempt. Once a delegate has been motioned to be summoned and has been approved or denied by the concerned committee, this will count for one attempt.
The motion to summon a delegate for a corresponding time from other committees must pass a two-thirds vote from the Security Council. Upon approval of the Security Council, the Chairperson must obtain the approval of the Secretary-General. Only then will the Secretary-General proceed to the Chairperson of the committee of the summoned delegate to seek the approval of the concerned committee by passing a two thirds vote.
The concerned committee must pass the motion with a two-thirds vote. Should the motion fail to garner the number of votes required, the summons is immediately considered failed.
Section 5
If the motion has garnered the necessary number of votes, the summoned delegate will proceed to the Security Council together with the Vice-Chair of the concerned committee and will stay no longer than twenty (20) minutes in the Security Council. The delegate will be given ample time to prepare for the summons as dictated by his or her chair upon the approval of his or her committee.
Section 6
After the exhaustion of the time allotted for the summons, the Vice-Chairperson of the summoned delegate must escort said delegate to his or her committee.
Section 7
The delegate to be summoned shall primarily come from the General Assembly. Should the concerned delegate not be present in the General Assembly, his or her counterpart in the Economic and Social Council will take his or her place. In the case that the concerned delegate is not present in the Economic and Social Council, the order of precedence based on the largest size of committees shall take place.
