and voting.'"
(Co-chair proceeds with the roll call.)

2. Setting the Agenda

Chairperson: "Delegates, the agenda for this session will be on disarmament and
international security, specifically focusing on 'Preventing the Militarization of
Outer Space' and 'The Threat of Autonomous Weapon Systems.' You will now have
the opportunity to suggest which topic you believe should be prioritized."
Delegate of Country A (e.g., USA): "Thank you, honorable Chair. The delegate
of the United States believes that the most pressing issue today is the militarization
of outer space, as it poses an imminent risk to global peace and security.
Therefore, the U.S. suggests prioritizing this topic for discussion."
Delegate of Country B (e.g., Russia): "The Russian Federation agrees with the
honorable delegate of the United States. However, we believe that autonomous
weapons pose a far greater and more immediate threat. Thus, we propose
discussing the issue of autonomous weapon systems first."
Chairperson: "Thank you, delegates. We shall now proceed with a motion to set
the agenda. The delegate of the United States has proposed Topic 1 (Preventing
Militarization of Outer Space) as the first item of discussion. All those in favor,
please raise your placards."

Chairperson: "The delegate of China, you have the floor."
Delegate of China:
"Honorable Chair, distinguished delegates, the militarization of outer space is a
grave threat to international security. We must enforce strict regulations on space
exploration and ensure that space remains a peaceful domain. China urges the
committee to work toward a global treaty that prohibits the deployment of
weapons in space."
Chairperson:
"Thank you, delegate. The next speaker is the delegate of India."
Delegate of India:

International Regulatory Framework for Space Weaponry.' Are there any
objections?"
(Pause for objections.)
"Seeing none, the motion passes. We shall now proceed with the moderated
caucus. The delegate of France, you have the floor."
Delegate of France: "Thank you, honorable Chair. France believes that the
development of space weapons will only escalate international tensions. We
propose a regulatory framework overseen by the UN to prevent the weaponization
of space by any country."
Chairperson: "Thank you, delegate. The next speaker is the delegate of the
United Kingdom."
Delegate of the United Kingdom: "Honorable Chair, the United Kingdom
supports the idea of a regulatory framework but stresses that it should not hinder
scientific or commercial activities in space. There must be a clear distinction
between peaceful space exploration and military use."
