Delegates Guidelines - Research work
On a more general note, when working as a team with other MUNers who have been assigned the same country, your group can share information and thus achieve a higher degree of preparation.
In order to do this, each team member should know about the questions that other team members are researching so that each one can share valuable information that they may come across as they research their own topic.
Problems can often be solved if you discuss them with other team members. Working together in this fashion will help your group to present your country in a coherent and convincing fashion during the Model UN.
In order to adequately represent your nation during the conference, you will need to interact with delegates from other countries. Knowing their positions on your questions will help you predict their arguments during debate and decide in advance where it might be useful to seek cooperation and compromise.
Clearly it is not possible to be aware of every individual country's policies. However, the more positions you know in advance, the more you will be able to react quickly to different viewpoints during the debate. At the very least, you should be aware of viewpoints held by key countries on any issue.
