Motions

Round 1

  • In countries with a history of civil conflict, this house would not allow formerly violent insurgent groups and their members to contest elections (e.g. the Irish Republican Army contesting elections as Sinn Fein in Ireland, the FARC in Colombia)

    • Round 2

  • This house, as Siripala, regrets SLC's suspension by the ICC

    • Round 3

  • This house supports the integration of generative AI (e.g.- ChatGPT) into secondary and tertiary education systems (i.e. for proofreading and paraphrasing, for research in essays and projects, etc.)

    • Round 4

  • This house, as the soldier, would choose to stay in the closet

    • Round 5

  • This house believes that the practice of starting relationships in which the participants do not intend a long-term future does more harm than good

    • Partial octo-finals

  • This house prefers a world in which political parties in developing countries based themselves on class issues (e.g. the JVP in Sri Lanka, the Socialist Party of Chile) instead of ethnic/religious issues (e.g. the TNA in Sri Lanka, the United Malays National Organisation in Malaysia)

    • Quarter-finals

  • This house believes that international media should portray the scale of protests against dictators in an exaggerated manner

    • Semi-finals

  • This house supports a social norm where individuals prioritise the maintenance of a few close friendships over the expansion of their social circle (i.e. spending more time with existing friends instead of actively trying to make new friends)

    • Finals

  • This house regrets the demonisation of nationalism
