The BUHMUN conference requires that each delegate prepares and submits a position paper. A position paper is an essay that details your country's policies on the topics being discussed. Writing a position paper assists you with organising your ideas so that you can share your country's position with other delegates at BUHMUN. You will also utilise the position paper to develop your speeches and working papers.
To be as prepared as possible, you must research your country and the topic. Please take note of the BUHMUN guidelines when writing your position paper. Failure to follow these guidelines may impede you from being considered for an award.
