Position Papers

Position Papers are the culmination of your research for MUN, and are required at MSUMUN to be eligible for a committee award. Position papers will be a report that will outline your country’s position on the issues to be discussed in your committee or cabinet, attempting to answer the following questions: What is the history of the problem? What has the international community done about this problem?; What does my country hope to achieve in committee to solve the problem? Who will be willing to help and who will stand in my way to achieve this goal?

Position papers are required for all General Assemblies and Specialized Agencies and will be required to be 250 words on each of the three topics presented. Crisis position papers are required for the UNSC, the USNSC, and the FAO. These position papers will be required to be 500 words. All position papers are due March 25, 2010.
