General Information
- Position Papers are due March 6th, 2026 at 11:59 pm EST, two weeks before the conference, and should be submitted to the respective team email found in the table below.
- Any questions or concerns regarding committee procedure or position can also be directed to this email as well.
- The subject line of the email should be according to the following format: Committee_Position_DelegateName
- EXAMPLE: UNSC_France_JohnSmith
- Delegates in committee distinguish themselves by thinking strategically, writing articulately, and displaying a well-informed point of view. As such, these position papers are not meant to be academically rigid, but are intended to identify delegates with sharp minds, strategic thought processes and clear objectives. Delegates identified as such will be rewarded with detailed attention throughout the 40-Hour Simulation. Additionally, these position papers allow our crisis team to weave the delegates' plans and objectives into crisis paths. Position paper awards will be given out at EagleMUNC XIV.
- Each delegate should express a general knowledge of the historical background relevant to the committee/topic, a clear position on the topic, and a set of actionable objectives or solutions for addressing the current situation. A number of committees will deal with multiple topics and, in these cases, delegates should choose the topic(s) most relevant to their position as the topic of discussion in their paper. Position papers are REQUIRED for all committees (except for the Ad Hoc and Thematic committees), and delegates will be ineligible for awards if they are not submitted.
Formatting
- Position papers should be 1-2 pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman, and may include Chicago, APA, or MLA style citations
- Each position paper should address topics detailed in each background guide. Delegates will not be penalized if they choose to address only some topics, so long as they provide quality analysis of the topics addressed within the position paper
