Topic Research
About Your Topic
Finally, you will want to research your country’s position on the topics that will be discussed in your committee. Often, it may be difficult to find specific information such as “Vanuatu’s policy on human rights in China”, so you will have to piece together several sources to get what you need. This will involve a synthesis of two types of information: (1) indepth research on the topic; and (2) research on your nation’s policy regarding that topic.
