Position papers can be submitted through the NNMUN position paper portal. It would be appreciated if you also have a paper copy to give to the dais at the start of your committee. Since NNMUN is a tech-free conference, it would be a good idea to print out a copy for yourself as well. If you have questions about any aspect of the position paper or are not able to submit it correctly, please contact your committee's chair. If they cannot be reached, please contact either Varsha Parthasarathy (vsparthasarathy@stu.naperville203.org) or Sarah Riemer (skriemer@stu.naperville203.org)

What to Include in Position Paper
What to Include in Position Paper
Your position paper should encapsulate your delegation's position on the topics you are debating. It should include:
Your delegation's history with the topic
Action your delegation/the UN has taken on the topic
The solutions your delegation proposes to resolve the issue
There is no set number of paragraphs to include, but typically a 3-4 paragraph paper provides all of the necessary information. Be sure to include research taken from credible sources, and remember to write from your delegation's point of view on a topic, which may not align with your personal opinions.
