Further Guidance

Background: Definitions of terms, stats on who is affected by the problem, how many people, broader worldly implications, …

Past UN actions: Programs, events, resolutions - what other countries participated too? These can be allies to you.

Domestic policies: Your country and its leaders’ beliefs on what the world should do, and why. MUST be country’s opinion, not your own - maybe you disagree with human trafficking but if your country’s economy relies on it… you have to agree with it

Possible solutions: How can the committee improve on what happened in the past, keeping in line with your country’s stances?
