AI research for competitive debate

Research faster. Argue better.

Sourced political research and both-sides argument mapping on any international or policy topic — evidence that holds up when the other team challenges the card.

Model Diplomat Logo Model Diplomat

There is no binding legal category for climate refugees — the 1951 Refugee Convention does not cover environmental displacement, which both sides can weaponise. 12

Affirmative ground: the Global Compact on Migration, the principle of non-refoulement, and the IPCC's displacement projections build a duty-of-rescue case. 34

Negative ground: no treaty obligation exists, sovereignty over borders is settled law, and capacity constraints cut against an unbounded duty. 5

How it works

One sourced workflow, start to final draft.

Cards that survive the challenge.

Cut evidence from treaty text, UN reports, and court rulings — not blogs. When the other team contests the source, the footnote opens to the real thing.

Questions

What you’re wondering.

Every claim cites a real primary source — treaty text, UN reports, court rulings — that opens to the original. That is the kind of evidence that beats cards cut from blogs and summaries.
Yes. Ask for the affirmative and negative ground on any resolution and it maps the strongest arguments and the best answers each side faces.
No. It is retrieval-first: it searches an index of real documents before it writes, so it cannot cite a source that does not exist.
Yes — research and country profiles are free. Pro removes the daily cap for heavy tournament prep.
