POSITION PAPER GUIDELINES
Position Papers - optional but very highly recommended
Position Papers are designed for delegates to thoroughly research their topic and effectively communicate their country’s stance on the topic at hand. Thus, the purpose of a paper should revolve around the questions: “What is my country’s stance on the presented issues" and "What are some concrete solutions/proposals which would advance this position?” Any delegations requesting special accommodations must do so by sending an email to spbmun@gmail.com. Double delegations should only submit one paper across both delegates. SPBMUN strongly encourages delegates to write a position paper so we alot around a month or more of time to work on them!
