我1月18 19号要参加北师大的模联,3月要参加HMUN 都是英文会场!1月12就要发position paper!

A Position Paper should include three sections, outlined below:
A. Background of the Topic
• In your country’s opinion, what are the main elements of the problem?
• What are the roots of those elements?
B. Position taken by your delegation
• What are your national interests in the situation?
• What are your nation’s policies on the topic?
• What steps would you like to see taken to deal with the problem?
C. Solutions
• What does your nation believe needs to be done to solve the problem?
• What do you predict will be the main opposition to your proposa
Resolutions
Your solution to the problems that the committee confronts take the form of a resolution. Resolutions represent the committee’s final attempt to draw together the interests of many competing nations into a comprehensive solution that serves the interests of the collective world community. From the procedural perspective, the resolution is the formal document upon which the committee will take action via the amendment and voting processes.
A resolution is a complex document that follows a strict format (see sample resolution) and reflects the negotiation, debate, and innovative proposals that the committee has produced. Before a resolution can be formally introduced into a committee, it must receive the approval of the Director. The Director will sign a resolution if it demonstrates an adequate understanding of the issue, answers the questions posed in the Study Guide, and has a wide base of support. A well-written resolution exhibits the following qualities:
• Familiarity with the problem: Relevant background information and previous UN actions should be referenced. In addition, a good resolution should keep in mind the actual power and influence of the committee. An ambiguous, unenforceable resolution is useless.
• Recognition of the issues. At the very least, the resolution should address the ideas in the “Questions a Resolution Must Answer” section of the Study Guide.
• Concision. Every clause and phrase has a purpose.
• Good form. An otherwise sound resolution may suffer from clumsy grammar or sloppy format.
The heading of a resolutions should include the committee name, the list of signatories, and the topic addressed by the resolution. Note that there are no sponsors of a resolution.
The body of the resolution is written in the format of a long sentence.
1) The resolution begins with “The General Assembly,” for all GA committees, and with “The Economic and Social Council,” for all ECOSOC committees. The Specialized Agencies committees use their own names as the introductory line. The rest of the resolution consists of clauses, with the first word of each clause underlined.
2) The next section, consisting of Preambulatory Clauses, describes the problem being addressed, recalls past actions taken, explains the purpose of the resolution, and offers support for the operative clauses that follow. Each clause in the preamble begins with an underlined particple and ends with a comma. A list of Suggested Preambulatory Clauses can be found in Appendix D of this guide.
3) Operative Clauses are numbered and state the action to be taken by the body. These clauses all begin with present tense, active verbs, which are generally stronger words than those used in the Preamble. Each operative clause is followed by a semicolon except the last, which ends with a period. A list of Suggested Operative Clauses can be found in Appendix D.
Of course, compromise on resolutions is not always possible, as delegates must also protect their own national interests. Thus, every HMUN resolution passed does not have to be based entirely on compromise and consensus. Such a demand would ignore the essential national interests of the member nations of the UN. Compromise is not an end in itself, and neither is “the compromise resolution.” Delegates should never feel forced to unduly compromise their national interests for the sake of consensus.
To be accepted by the dais, a resolution must be able to be passed in its current form. This includes answering all of the “Questions a Resolution Must Answer” outlined in the committee’s Study Guide.
THAT'S ALL.
