How to Research and Prepare Speeches

● Mandate defines the limits and the powers of a Committee .It tells which
agenda is to be run.
● First thing to research is about the Mandate and Committee.
● Then try to search about the country you are a delegate of and its
relation to the given committee.
 ● Wikipedia shouldn’t be used since it’s an open source website.Apart
from them, restrict yourself to government websites,UN websites or well
established third party websites.
● Research all of this in a systematic manner.
● How you are formulating and presenting the information through
speeches is important.Voice Modulation and heavy vocabulary can be
used.Try to use third person pronouns.
● The most important thing as a delegate is to be respectful to other
delegates.Note that you will be representing a country as a whole not
only personal or aggressive point of views.Calmness should be the only
medium to talk in an MUN.
● Speeches should contain valid points.Delegates should be careful about
the time limit.
● GSL speeches should contain relevant and generalised facts.It’s
important to research before the session.Speeches can be formulated
in the time another delegate is speaking but it should be kept in mind
that plagiarism should be as little as possible.
● Foreign policies are to be known and applied.It’s important to know a
country’s allies and enemies in the real world.
● No offensive language should be used in any type of motion.
