POSITION PAPERS
Note: Position papers are optional for delegates at YMUN India. Position papers are only required for delegates who would like to the considered for the “Best Position Paper” Award, to be distributed at closing ceremonies. Position papers are 1-2 pages research documents prepared by delegates, which serve as a formal introduction to a delegate's stance on the topics to be discussed during the conference. The primary purpose of a position paper is to provide fellow delegates, committee chairs, and organizers with a clear understanding of a delegate's country or delegation's policies, perspectives, and proposed solutions on the agenda items. As the Ad Hoc committee has no pre-decided topics, no position papers may be submitted by delegates in said committee. To be eligible for an award, position papers must be submitted via the form below by January 10, 2024.
POSITION PAPER SUBMISSION FORM
**** It should be noted that participants are expected to prepare for both topics. At the beginning of the session, a vote will be conducted to decide which topic will be addressed first, taking up approximately two-thirds of the committee time. The second topic will be discussed in the remaining time. This approach ensures thorough preparation and engagement with both subjects. ****
NOTE: You will receive the committee preference form over email after the payment process is completed.
