the ground up to and through committee. Be sure to be familiar with the style, diction, and wording of the UN Security Council Resolutions so that you can be prepared in committee to write the best resolution possible. The UN website http://www.un.org/en/sc/ documents/resolutions/index.shtml has a listing of all the resolutions. you should focus on years up to and including 1960, the year the simulation will begin. your research should also concern how your nation would approach a solution in committee. this means researching its position previously in the Security Council in similar matters, what it has and has not advocated and agreed to, and how its own national interests align with a solution to the Congo crisis. Reading press statements from UN representatives and heads of state, news reports on the nature of its interactions with Congo, and reports on trade with the Congo will give you a better idea on how to approach the problem from your country’s perspective. Position Papers Position papers are an essential part of the MuN experience. they help to frame your argumentation and coalition-building before you step into the committee room. I think therefore they are an essential component in any assessment of the quality of a delegate. you should focus on three things in your 3-4 page position paper (double spaced, 12-point font): your plan for solving the issue, why your nation would be arguing for this plan, and how this will solve the problems in the status quo. Be very explicit in your papers regarding these three elements. Also, be as creative as you want with solutions—within reason, of course. You should cite specific news articles, academic reports, books, UN documents, and government websites, and you should have a works cited page. Be advised, however, that you will not be held strictly to the positions you articulate in your position paper; I recognize that the events, as they unfold in committee, will require you to shift slightly or dramatically your responses to the situation. One last comment: I cannot give awards to anyone who does not submit a position paper, so please do it! Closing Remarks You’re almost done with the guide! It was a great experience preparing this guide, and i hope it has given you solid grounding to build upon for conference. I know that I will see in March creative approaches to highly contentious issues and brilliant solutions. There are a lot of moving parts inherent in the topic; economics, geopolitics, international relations, and philosophical problems all play a role in the topics and likely the solutions that will emerge. I really look forward to what you come up with! Please do not hesitate to contact me at hsc@ worldmun.org if you have any questions regarding the study guide, position papers, Rules of Procedure, updates, or any other matter you wish to discuss. i will attempt to respond as quickly as possible and as comprehensively as possible. Best of luck with research and until March… Endnotes 1 Weiss, Forsythe, & Coate 3 2 “Milestones in United Nations History.” 3 Weiss et al. 5. 4 Weiss et al. 35. 5 Regehr 32 6 Gareis & Varwick 29. 7 “Under the Charter, the functions and powers of the Security Council are.” 8 Weiss et al. 30 9 Kent 1 10 Kent 9 11 Dunn 39 12 Kent 1 13 Kent 6 14 Nzongola-Ntalaja 33 15 Dunn 9 16 Chatterjee 48 17 Kent 6 18 Nzongola-Ntalaja 14 28 Melbourne Host Directorate PTY LTD | Office of Media and Design
