-Haiti as one of the least developed countries in the western hemisphere has absolutely nothing
to do with many of the topics at hand. For us to be any significance to the conference, we have
to make it benefit.
-we realize that many of you have already written your resolutions but please go through this
guideline to make sure that it is actually valid and beneficial

Country
Referring to the previous questions in section 2
Think about the long term and short term effects.
EX. Is this going to crop up new problems, if the conference does not go in the way it is
expected, have a backup resolution preferably completely against current resolution (if possible,
but still in benefit of Haiti).
Policies
While the point of the conference is to agree on resolution, please be historically accurate, what
would the country do realistically when thrown into such situations.
Think about each country as an individual, does the resolution or action fit the
personality. Will it be plausible for Haiti to do so.
Policies- Since you work for the haitian government, analyze haitian press releases,
but more importantly speeches of the president or high ranking officials, and they should
give you a decent idea.
Find past resolutions, treaties, conventions, speeches, and voting records of UN to see how the
topics of certain things are looked upon by each country.
Section 4
When thinking about the solutions, please consider the following (working backwards
here)
1. What does haiti needs to most, what is the biggest problem faced in Haiti currently (at
the moment, forget about the topic)
2. How can we solve this (still dont think about the topic)
3. Relate step 2 to the topic of your conference.
4. Get solution and think more deeply about it (EX how does this appeal to investors, is it
realistic, does this fit Haitis personality, etc)
Heres how this worked for us (ECOFIN - Economic and finance committee)
