Position Papers
Positions Papers are required for most committees at AMUN XXIII, and will be considered in the determination of awards. They are due at the beginning of the first committee session to chairs. Delegates should write a position paper on each topic in their committee's guide, unless otherwise noted. For AMUN XXIII, we require position papers for all General Assemblies, Economic & Social Councils, Regional Bodies, and Specialized Agencies. Position papers are not required of delegates in any Crisis Committee. Please consult the delegate guide below for guidelines.
Please submit your Position Paper by emailing the Chair of your Committee with a subject line in the format:
Committee Name - Your Country - Your Name - Position Paper
Please submit your Position Paper by emailing the Chair of your Committee with a subject line in the format:
Committee Name - Your Country - Your Name - Position Paper
Committee Legislation + Plagiarism
Pre-written documents, including draft resolutions, clauses and directives, are strictly prohibited. This includes any language written before the conclusion of the first committee session at AMUN XXIII. Research and careful planning is, of course, encouraged before the conference, but entering committee with completed legislation is unfair to other delegates and undermines the spirit of collaboration we strive for. Plagiarism, verbatim or near-verbatim copying of another individual's work, is also strictly prohibited. It is expected that every piece of committee legislation produced during the conference is the authentic work of the delegate(s) behind it. Accordingly, any delegates found to be plagiarizing work or bringing pre-written documents into committee will be disqualified from receiving awards, and their delegations from receiving delegation awards.
Payment
Due to the uncertainty of the next few months, AMUN XIII is only requiring a down payment of $5 per delegate to participate in the conference, much less than in its history. The $5 down payment is in place initially in case the conference is virtual. This payment is due for both priority registration and regular registration. In the case that the conference is announced to be in-person, a later fee of $35 will be required, matching the payment of previous years. This fee is only required if the conference is in-person. The increase in payment matches the increase in necessary resources in the instance of running an in-person conference. We hope you understand and do not have an issue with these circumstances. If you have any questions please email us at: amunsecretariat@gmail.com
Awards
AMUN strives to provide delegates with an educational and enjoyable experience. We seek to help students debate issues of international significance in a welcoming and respectful setting. Although we do not promote an overly competitive environment, we want to recognize delegates who exceed expectations with their leadership ability and positive contributions to committee. Successful delegates will demonstrate a thorough knowledge of their committee's topics, show strong public speaking ability, remain in line with their country's policies, and engage diplomatically with their committee through comprise and negotiation. Finally, AMUN XXIII will offer the following delegation awards to recognize schools who demonstrate excellence across committees:
|
*Small: 7-14 delegates
*Large: 15+ delegates |
Best Small Delegation
Outstanding Small Delegation Best Large Delegation Outstanding Large Delegation |
*Subject to change based on the number of delegations and delegates per delegation in any given year.
