Position Paper Guideline
Position papers for all committees should:

      

be one page in length, single spaced (for all committees except Press Corps; see Special Instructions for Press Corps below) have one-inch margins use size 12 Times New Roman font be in black print only have the Committee Name, Topic Area, Country Name, School Name, and Delegate Name(s) headings in the upper left corner of the page appear untitled include citations (not considered to be part of the one page paper length)

Citations may be done in any style (e.g. MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.), as long as they are consistent throughout the paper.

Content
With regards to content, delegates have considerable freedom. Most Position Papers are organized in a fashion similar to that outlined below:

  

Part 1 - Background of the topic with relation to the Member State (i.e. what is the Member State's outlook on or history with the problem) Part 2 - Official position of the Member State (i.e. what has the Member State done in the past with regards to this problem, both domestically and internationally) Part 3 - Solutions to the problem that are amenable to the Member State

Special Instructions for Press Corps

In lieu of the traditional position paper as outlined above, Press Corps delegates must submit:



one 300-500-word article for each of the sections of the newspaper: Economic, Social and Political (so three total). The articles should be written from the perspective of the delegate's news agency and can be on any topic of international interest. Sample articles for each section are posted on munucpresscorps.wordpress.com

Stylistic Suggestions

As a stylistic suggestion, refer to what your country hopes to achieve and not you, the delegate. For instance: "Her Majesty's Government desires...," "The people of Bolivia would like to see...," or "The Kingdom of Spain believes...,"

would be appropriate instead of: "I want...," "we feel..."
