Position Papers

Hello delegates,

Just a few notes about the position papers:

1. Remember that there is an award for best position paper in every committee so don't pull your punches.

2. The dais and intervention staff will mainly be looking at the extent of research that was performed for the paper, the relation of that research to the topics that will be discussed, and finally, the relation of that research to the country's foreign policy.

3. Limit the length of your papers to around 2 -3 pages double spaced. Even though if your paper is longer than that it may not be discarded, you will be less likely to win an award than an individual who fulfilled the requirements in the page limit.

4. Try to make the paper as interesting as possible seeing as how the intervention staff will be reading many of these.

5. Remember that the stance you take in this position paper will be representative of the stance you take in committee. If your intervention staff sees that your paper is an inaccurate depiction of your country's foreign policy, they will bring it up with you so your committee debate is not jeopardized.

On behalf of the dais and intervention staff, good luck with your research and papers and God speed.

We look forward to seeing you in February.
