NMUN•EUROPE POSITION PAPERS

Position Paper Instructions

Please pay careful attention to the following guidelines when drafting and submitting your position papers. Only those delegations that follow the submission guidelines will be eligible for position paper awards.


Position Paper Specifications

Each committee topic should be addressed briefly in a succinct policy statement representing the relevant views of your assigned country, NGO, or expert role. You should also include recommendations for action to be taken by your committee. All delegations meeting the following criteria will be judged by the same method and equally considered for position paper awards. All papers must be typed and formatted according to the example in the background guides (following the specifications below will ensure this).

• If printed, length must not exceed one double-sided page (two single-sided pages is not acceptable)
• Font must be Times New Roman sized between 10 pt. and 12 pt.
• Country/NGO name, School name and committee name clearly labeled on the first page
• Agenda topics clearly labeled in separate sections
• National symbols (headers, flags, etc.) are deemed inappropriate for NMUN position papers

Del. Prep Guide 2012 NMUN

All delegates should download the DELEGATE PREPARATION GUIDE PDF and refer to it first for answers and resources.

For convenience, PDFs of each section of the guide are also available for download:
1. Beginning Your Research PDF
2. Understanding the Conference/Overview PDF
3. Rules of Procedure PDF
4. Resolution and Report Writing Segment PDF
5. NMUN-NY Info/Sample Position Paper PDF
6. NMUN-Europe Info/Sample Position Paper PDF

Important Dates: We urge you to note deadlines for preparations and position papers.


PLEASE NOTE: Not even the best source exempts delegates from coming up with their own ideas and suggestions and framing them in their own words.

Plagiarism will not be tolerated at any point by the NMUN Conference. Delegates should be aware that position papers and draft resolutions are read and evaluated by NMUN staff that have a profound knowledge of the topics and have prepared committee and agenda items for months. This enables our volunteers to identify and report incidences of plagiarism.
