Position Papers

In theory before an MUN, you should write 2 papers:
1. A position paper (explaining your country's position on issue and listing issues to be addressed)
2. A resolution paper (listing (re)solutions to the issues to be addressed).

As we have so little time before NCYMUN, we will only create basic resolution papers.
As you will start by 'lobbying,' your task will be to show your list of resolutions to friendly countries (in an informal setting) and ask them to vote your favour.

EG: I think Pontonniers should have its own canteen, don't you? If you do, vote for me when I read our my (re)solution.

Although you will NOT write a Position Paper, it might be interesting to look at the format.

Position Papers

This is a blog entry that I created for LMUNA that will help YOU!

The MUN Guide should become your new bible !

The Youtube video is also very useful.

The key is NOT to panic.

a) I can help you.
b) There is a formula that you can apply. Just take it step by step.
c) As you do NOT need to email it beforehand, there is no need to aim for perfection.
d) Do create this document - as it will give you confidence on the day.

Once it's done.. I'll help you on your Resolution Paper (or to prepare resolutions to present).

You can also surf around blogs from previous MUN we've attended.
