Why do we submit position papers?
Position papers are an excellent way for advisors, students, and conference staff to verify that the students are prepared and understand the topics of debate from their country's perspective. Speeches and resolution ideas can be drawn from position papers during the conference.
Where can I learn about position papers?
Learn how to write a position paper by reading our online Model UN Preparation Guide. This online guide also provides helpful research and writing tips.
Who writes position papers?
Each delegation should write ONE position paper on EACH topic in each committee, including the Security Council.
For example:
John and Cindy are representing Spain in the General Assembly. They should work together to write one position paper on Multinational Terrorist Groups.
Where do submitted position papers go?
ALL position papers submitted by the deadline will be sent to the presiding staff of the appropriate committee. It is beneficial for the staff to read all position papers prior to the conference in order to direct the committee more effectively. In addition, all position papers submitted by this date will be considered for a Position Paper Award in each committee. Position papers will not be returned to students after submission. Position papers must be submitted by March 31, 2012.
How do I submit a position paper?
We will be receiving more than 900 position papers, so it is very important that directions are followed exactly during the submission process. Each delegation must submit their position paper separately to the appropriate committee email address.
