Model United Nations Assignment Help
Model United Nations Summit
40% unit grade – completed in groups of 3-4 assigned by the unit chair.
Your task in this group assignment is to prepare a 1200-1500 word strategy paper (80% of this grade, due 5pm Monday 23 September) for your delegation in preparation of the Model United Nations Summit, taking into account the individual position paper recommendations, as well as delivering a 3 minute (200-300 word) speech (20% of this grade) to the Summit on Monday 30 September.
The Delegation Strategy Paper should present a plan for how the delegation will attempt to meet its national goals for the UN Summit. This should include:
- a statement of the overall aim of the delegation for the summit as well as a justification of this aim.
- a prioritization of the summit agenda items based upon the individual position papers and a justification of these priorities.
- a plan for proposed amendments (if necessary) to the proposed resolution or a justification for not proposing amendments.
- a consideration of potential partner delegations and how you may be able to cooperate to achieve common goals.
- a consideration of potential differences with other delegations and how these may be able to be overcome or managed.
The basis of the speech will be the arguing for the positions on each topic covered by your position papers prepared by delegation members together with consideration given to your overall strategy.
You do not need to include a hard copy the speech, this is marked on the day.
