These are brief papers on the position a certain country would take on a particular issue and why it would assume that stance. Nearer to the time of the conference, study begins on how to draft resolutions. These papers are in a highly specialized format and require some practice to comprehend easily. Students are encouraged to write at least one resolution before coming to the conference. Resolutions will be created and amended in committee activity.
Resolutions are the product of working papers.
Working papers lay the focus and support for the preparation of resolutions. Using the format of a resoution, working papers form the basis for negotiation and discussion in committee activity. In working papers students may develop concepts for managing an issue in committee. Resolutions are created from working papers but do not become resolutions until approved by committee vote. Working papers may be submitted to the SW Florida Model UN program for copying and distribution at the conference.
