The first place to start is the MMUN topic back ground guide site. These issues briefings have all the information you will need to start your research. Delegates will find information posted about each topic to be discussed here.
The topic guides are overviews of complicated topics; they will give your students a start. However, they will have to find the information about their specific countries.
The following are great places to look.
CIA World Fact Book, Basic Country information
UN News Center, Programs and Official statements are found here
The New York Times, The international section will be helpful
Or for more official information check out these suggestions.
The Government Website of the assigned country (especially foreign ministry site)
Newspapers from the assigned country or its region (if available in English)
The country’s UN mission site (these will often have speeches and other documents). To find this site easily, Google the country’s name followed by “Permanent Mission to the UN”
These sites and other research tips can be found in Katie Peers article on the website.
