Follow the published requirements
Check the conference’s instructions for length, structure, references and submission. There is no single template that applies to every committee.
Explain the issue and your position
Briefly identify the problem and why it matters to the country or perspective you represent. Use relevant evidence. Make the relationship between the topic and your position clear.
Connect policy with proposals
Explain relevant past action or stated policy, then propose a response your committee can discuss. Consider feasibility, responsibilities and possible partners. Avoid promising action beyond the committee’s role.
Review for clarity
Ask whether every paragraph helps a reader understand your position. Check sources, remove repetition and distinguish your proposals from verified past decisions. A position paper should prepare you for dialogue.
