Understand the assignment
Read the committee guide to understand the country or perspective you represent and the limits of the committee’s work. Representation starts with research.
Look for documented positions
Explore official statements, relevant agreements and policy documents. Consider the country’s circumstances and how they relate to the topic. Avoid assuming that one news headline explains its whole position.
Build a consistent position
Summarise your country’s priorities, concerns and possible areas of cooperation. Link proposals to evidence. When information is uncertain, say so and continue investigating.
Listen for common ground
Ask other delegates about their priorities. You can disagree respectfully while identifying shared interests. Stay open to proposals that meet different needs without misrepresenting your assignment.
