Research

Research is very important as it helps you to gain information about the issue, and if you are well informed, you are powerful. We advise you to take the following items of advice for your research :


 * Find out general information about your country: how big it is, whether it is poor or rich and what are the basis of its economy, what kind of political regime it has, what countries it influences or is influenced by, what alliances it has, in what conflict it has been involved and any other things you consider important and insist on the matters on the agenda.


 * You should then find out what the issues on the agenda really are about, what they involve, what action has already been taken worldwide, what is UN’s opinion about this, what is your country’s opinion about the problem. If you’re country is smaller and you feel the information you found is not enough to establish a policy, search for the policies allied with the ones of your country.


 * Browse the past resolutions of UN.


 * If your country is not directly concerned by the issue, try to think as rationally as possible to help other countries or the people, or nature, in general, but without affecting the well-being of your own country and people.


 * If your country is directly concerned by the issue, find your weak and your strong points, try to form alliances and to solve the problem as good as possible for your country, but without being selfish, ready to make compromises, as well as they do not cost your country too much.


 * Try to find out about other countries policies, actions, weak points.


 * Do not use any information that is either false or out-of-date (consider the fact that each piece of information is updated every year/month). This way you MIGHT give an impression of well prepared, but you take the risk of being discovered by other delegates. So do not put yourself in embarrassing situations.
