Ask yourself: 

• What is the issue?

• Why is it important?

• Who is affected?

• What are the main challenges?

Definitely read the Study Guide provided by the Chairs of your Committee to get a good overview and cut down on research time.

Your country acts as a policymaker.

Consider the following: 

• What is my nation's FORMAL POSITION on the matters associated with this committee?

• Who are its partners and adversaries?

• What pacts/agreements has it entered? 

Begin with Current Events. 

• Avoid starting with lengthy UN reports.

• Instead, consider following this structured approach: 

  • 1. News Articles (from legit journals)

    2. Government statements 

    3. Press Releases

    4. Think Tank Publications

    5. Academic Analysis

    6. UN Reports

    7. UN Resolutions

This Method allows you to grasp
Real-World context before losing yourself in deeper insights.

Never depend on a single source for every claim you make. Instead, verify it through two or three distinct types of sources: 

1. UN or Official Reports

2. Reputable News Outlets

3. Policy Institutions/ Research Organizations

Strong Delegates communicate with evidence, not assumptions. 

After completing a handful of research, ask yourself: 

"Can I mention this in a 60-90 sec speech? "

If the answer is NO, then carefully filter what might be more productive for the conference. 

Focus must be on: 

• key statistics

• real-life examples

• strong arguments

• counter arguments

A good delegate anticipates criticism and prepares responses for: 

• Why does your country support the policy?

• What are the weaknesses of the proposal? 

• What evidence supports your claim? 

Conducting a small amount of research on other countries in your committee helps you to identify factually incorrect statements and see which countries face similar problems.
