Rules, Resolutions, and Position Papers
We know there is a great deal of concern over the complicated rules used at Model United Nations. We have made every effort to simplify the rules. More rule details can be found by clicking below.
Position papers are an element of judging in selecting the overall team awards. In order for a team to be considered for an overall award the team must have submitted a complete position paper package (one per each committee on which that country is seated), the papers must be in the prescribed format, and the package must have been received by us by 12:00 noon on Monday March 24, 2025-*** Please email position papers to bwright1@jccc.edu
We need papers in Microsoft word format. Do not send via Google Docs.
Please note that MKCMUN no longer requires nor allows pre-submitted resolutions. Resolutions should be developed by delegates in committee.
