Quick guide

General preparation guidance. Once published, BKMUN’s own Rules of Procedure take precedence.

  1. Research your country

    Use reliable sources to identify its policy on the agenda. Keep track of evidence and distinguish national policy from your own opinion.

  2. Prepare your contribution

    Outline the problem, your country’s position and a feasible proposal. Follow the conference instructions for speeches and written submissions.

  3. Listen and negotiate

    Ask questions, compare proposals and look for common ground. Disagree with ideas respectfully.

  4. Write workable proposals

    Explain who should act and how. Check whether the proposed action is within the committee’s mandate.
