HTHMUN III Committee Name Topic I.
Introduction Use this space to briefly
introduce yourself to the delegates.
Pertinent information includes your name, grade, the school that you attend,
the number of years that you have been involved with the Model UN program,
and a way for delegates to contact you with questions. II.
Historical Background This space should be several
paragraphs long, and should explain the historical landmarks of the topic
which led to its international significance. Be prepared to discuss some of
the pacts and treaties that are relevant to your topic. III.
UN Involvement This section differs from the
last in that while it is also historical, it should only identify the topic
as it is significant within the UN.
Included in this section should be the branches of the UN that deal
with your topic, any documents passed by the UN, and any conventions the UN
has called. IV.
Possible Solutions Use this section to suggest ways
that your topic can be combated. Leave
these fairly broad, as this is the main purpose of the delegates’
attendance. V.
Questions to Answer In this section, come up with at
least three questions that you believe it will be valuable for a delegate to
be able to answer. VI.
Bloc Positions This section is a major guide
for most delegates. Using the blocs of
Western, Latin, African, Asian, and Middle Eastern, provide a rough
suggestion as to what a delegates’ policy might be on your issue. These five blocs are only a suggestion, as
some topics are not geographically divisible.
