what is a position paper in mun

A position paper in Model United Nations (MUN) is a document that outlines a delegate's country's position on a set of topics being discussed in a specific committee. It is a strategic document that gives an overview of the country's position, its relation to the topic, and proposals of policies to pass in a resolution. The paper should include a brief introduction, a clear statement of policy on each topic, the country's background on the topic, political and/or foreign policy, and action taken by the specific government in relation to the topic. It is typically one page long and is an important part of preparing for an MUN conference
