General Research and Preparation guidelines:

There are three consistently significant parts of representative

planning. They are: useful; meaningful; and positional planning.
Practical readiness outfits the representatives with essential
apparatuses, including a comprehension of the guidelines important
to act in board of trustees. The meaningful component gives
preparation of explicit data on the subject regions. At long last,
positional planning requires the understudies to embrace viewpoints
that are not their own. In light of this, the EB gives two instruments to
help you: this Guide to Delegate Preparation and the Study Guide.
Together, these will guarantee you will be prepared for the gathering.
Past perusing and understanding the material we have given, the more
pragmatic experience you can gain through banter, goal composing,
making introductions, and so forth, the more ready you will be.

Explicit assets to research include:

Yearbook of the United Nations:

The Yearbook is a decent beginning stage for your examination. The
Yearbook will furnish you with general data on what has been done on
your theme during a specific year. It likewise gives exceptionally
accommodating references to past articles and goals.

This magazine gives you general data on the procedures of the UN.
Watch out for exceptional reports on your theme region, which will

 UN Document Index:
This record for all UN reports comes in three distinct renditions:
UNDI (1950-1973), UNDEX (1970-1978), and UNODC (1979-present).
Contingent upon which of the three you are utilising, you will track
down a subject record, a nation file, and an alphanumeric rundown of all
reports distributed (this is helpful in light of the fact that each panel has
its own novel alphanumeric prefix and accordingly you can track down
every one of the records put out by a board of trustees during a specific
year paying
little heed to the particular theme.

UN Resolutions:
This arrangement is both significant and extremely simple to utilize. The
record is aggregate from 1946, which implies that you need just check
the most current list to track down every one of the goals on your point
that the UN has at any point passed.

International Maritime Organization (IMO):

It’s important to learn about the committee as part of your research. Go
through the committee website to learn how the committee works, the
mandate of the committee, and conventions.

Other UN Sources:
Depending on the subject, there may be extra pertinent UN sources.
Check for books and exceptional reports put out by the WHO. Past
United Nations sources, notwithstanding, are general wellsprings of
data. Explore your school and nearby libraries. Look at diaries,
periodicals, and papers for more current sources. Remember to ask the
curators for help.

Embassies and Consular Offices:

Contact the government office or consular office of the country that
you are addressing. These spots are happy to help you in your
exploration via mailing factual information and other unclassified data.

POSITION
PAPER
GUIDELINE
Purpose:

The purpose of writing of the Position Paper is grossly to see your country’s
point of view on the agenda. It also helps us to see your game plan or initiative
that you want to take in the committee.

Guideline:

There will be minimum of 3 paragraphs in a position paper and we expect

the following contents in the respective paragraphs:

1. For the first para, mention your committee's background and the
importance of your committee according to the agenda. This part is mainly
research based and your own inputs relating with the agenda may be
written in the later part of this para,
2. Your countries stance in one line is suggested to be mentioned in the first
line of the second para. Then continue with mentioning why your country
thinks the agenda is important while mentioning the past and present
situation of your country according to that. If your country has taken any
step which might be still in planning stage but will be taken in action in the
upcoming years, that should be mentioned as well. This para is also fully
research based and make sure to take informations from your own
country's website,
3. The last para is where your creativity will flourish as this para is mainly
focusing on what you want from the committee both as the representative
of your country and also as a competitor in your committee room. Best
way to utilize this para is to note down your solutions/possible outcomes
you are expecting in bullet points. Make sure to keep them precise.
4. Lastly mention the references of the informations you have used for the
position paper.

Referencing is a necessary part of the position paper. Only legit source
