Will there be home government this year? Could you explain how it works and what role it fills?

There will be a home government (HG) this year and Assistant Secretary General-Internal Thecla Prentis will be serving in that role. The role of HG is to answer any last minute questions that a delegate may have about their country. HG is back-up for students, should an issue arise that they have not research in preparing for the conference.

However, HG does not take the place of a well researched Position Paper and additional research on the topics before your committee. HG is a service for all students to use to further their countries foreign agenda.
Students should be prudent when contacting HG. Students only have four contacts to HG, and if a crisis were to happen they would not be extended additional contacts. Additionally if a crisis were to occur a delegate would have to run any action by HG. I.E. if China were to attack Israel, the United States would have to contact HG for permission to attack China.
