What is VAMUN policy regarding position papers?
Position papers are required at VAMUN XXX in all General Assembly and Specialized Committees, and they will factor into consideration when committee awards are decided. Position papers are a wonderful opportunity for delegates to put their research to tangible use, and as a way to organize their policy initiatives before the conference. VAMUN asks for position papers to be at least three pages long – one page per topic – although delegates are welcome to write more if they wish. The paper ought to be divided into sections according to the agenda topics, and within those sections, the delegates should first give a general overview of their country’s position on the topic, and then proposals on solutions to the issue from their nation’s perspective. As pre-written resolutions are not allowed at VAMUN, this section should be a more general approach to the issue, rather than a comprehensive set of solutions. We ask that all papers be typed, using standard size font, with reasonable margins
