Winning UN Simulations
罢丑别听91制片厂MUNC Delegate Guide聽is designed to help you prepare for any Model UN or crisis simulation, whether as a teacher, staff member, or delegate, whether at a huge General Assembly session or a small specialized body, a regional organization, or a crisis simulation.
91制片厂MUNC does not require position papers of all delegates, but they are encouraged as the best evidence of professionalism and the best guidance to each committee. Thorough conference preparation is strongly encouraged and a position paper is the best way to prepare. Because country or organization positions vary from issue to issue, a different position paper is needed for each body, but only one position paper is expected for each delegation per committee.
Typical position papers are one to two single-spaced pages in length (300 to 500 words), reviewing your country or organization's relevant perspectives and positions, their attitudes toward the issues before the committee, their preferred policies and goals on those issues. Position papers may state the red lines the delegation generally will not cross. Headings and Illustrations are a good idea.
Copying and distribution of position papers is the responsibility of each delegate. Delegates should bring sufficient copies of their position paper for distribution to the staff and other delegates of their committee. Position papers are considered by 91制片厂MUNC staff in their decision-making for conference awards.
Guidance on position paper writing can be found at UNA-USA website, as can sample position papers.
