Normal Form
Be faithful to the agenda. For example, if the agenda is "Poverty in developing countries", you need to talk as much about it as possible. If you are a country where the agenda is highly relevant, talk about what has been done and what is being done. If you are a country that is not affected much by the agenda, talk about how your country plans on helping other countries; those that are affected.
Introduce yourself and your country. For example: "Fellow delegates, I will introduce myself as the delegate of Finland". If you don't like to be very formal, talk about your country's advantages. For example: "Finland is a nation in Northern Europe that has a great health care system."
Explain the topic and how it affects your nation. For example: "For the Maldives, global warming has always been a top priority, over the years, the sea levels have been rising, putting my delegation in risk of sinking."
Try to engage other nations to see and accept your position. For example: "Recently, Bangladesh has begun to experience an increase in floods and has observed and recorded higher sea levels too."
Once you have more common points, introduce your solutions. Remember that you should make solutions that involve everyone and benefit everyone, as much as possible. If you do so, more people will consider you as the committee's leader. For example: "Introducing new alternative energies will help to reduce emissions, slowing the release of emissions that contribute to global warming and helping to prevent the continued melting of glaciers and sea-level rise being experienced around the world. It will also support the American economies that are trying to make businesses from alternate energy production. If these services are also established in Africa, there would be increased work opportunities and better economic outcomes."
Conclude by stating why this problem is so important. Finish with how your country's resolutions can go a long way to solving the problem. There is no example, it is all up to you.
General Format
When writing the Position Paper, try to limit it to one page, with footnotes citing your sources at the bottom.
Begin with a header, which should have the following, each on a new line: your name, your country, your committee (if applicable), and your school, university, or organization.
Reserve the first paragraph for a brief introduction to the topic, as well as your country's generalized stance on it.
For the second paragraph, focus on your research. This should be your longest paragraph, as well as the most researched. This paragraph should focus on how your country handles the topic domestically, as well as mentioning your countries response (if any) to the situation mentioned within the topic brief.
For the third paragraph, come up with any potential solutions to the topic. Make sure to devise them from the perspective of your country.
