Status Report Google Form
Students complete this form as a country group and are required to list specific facts about their adopted countries. The form lists multiple questions that require detailed answers by the delegates.
Position Paper Google Form
Most delegates must complete one Position Paper for each topic their committee or organ is scheduled to discuss; this means most delegates should complete two position papers total. The Position Paper should state, in the adopted nation's point of view, how the delegate views the issues in question.
Global Forum Briefing Paper
Delegates should use this Briefing Paper form to summarize the stand their adopted nation might take on each sub-topic in relation to the main topic. This is to help delegates get some focus on how their country thinks about each area.
ICJ Memorial Google Form
To present or respond to a case to the International Court of Justice, a party must prepare and present a Memorial; required for all delegates representing countries in the ICJ. A Memorial must contain three basic elements:
- Claims of Fact

If a nation is sued in the ICJ, it will be required to submit a counter-memorial, due before the first day of the Model United Nations. Countries being sued will be notified and will be supplied with a copy of the memorial brought against them. Please refer to the curriculum
