DEI Statement
As delegates at Princeton Model Congress, we gather to discuss a wide array of issues, each with its unique historical, social, and political context. Throughout history, individuals/political groups taking part in such discussions have, at times, been involved in actions that were considered war crimes or gross violations of human rights.
It is of paramount importance that we make it explicitly clear that certain actions taken by delegates will not be condoned. Bills advocating for any of the following actions will not be accepted, and the conference leadership will be immediately informed of such occurrences:
War crimes directed at civilian populations.
Genocides and mass killings, especially those targeting specific ethnic, religious, or racial groups.
Indiscriminate violence, including acts such as terror bombing (strategic bombing of civilian targets without military value) and the use of weapons of mass destruction on civilian populations.
Discrimination against marginalized groups, including but not limited to racial, ethnic, religious, gender, and sexual orientation discrimination.
(If you are unsure whether a bill would be considered inappropriate please contact conference staff prior to the conference.)
Our intention is not to ignore or alter historical facts but to underline the significance of delegates' understanding of the ethical implications of their actions. Since we convene in the year 2024, we must recognize the contemporary standards and values that guide our discussions.
With any concerns, please fill out this anonymous report form:
