Preparing for the Convention

Country Profile:
Each delegate must submit a country profile. It shall be printed on A4 size paper, Times New Roman font size 12, max 500 words.
Country Profile shall be about any issue related to the agendas of the Convetion. It shall include a small paragraph introducing the topic and your country's stand on the issue, one paragraph about your countries implemented plans and one paragraph about future plans.

Studying of the Assigned Country

Study of a country may begin with the summary treatment offered by any encyclopaedia. Good references are almanacs. Facts on File, Political Handbook of the World, Statesman's yearbook, Deadline Date on World Affairs among others. Internet is a very good resource to study about any country, search Government website of the country and UN websites for important information about the country and the agenda. Foreign embassies and newspapers are also important sources on current national and international problems that affect a nation's stand on specific issues in the United Nations and its relationships with other nations. The more a delegate knows about a nation's policies, whether political, economic, or cultural in nature, the easier it will be to assume the role of "delegate" for that nation.

Order of Bussiness
