MUN Delegate Guide

As the Dominican Republic, you represent the Caribbean's largest economy with significant US ties through CAFTA-DR and a large diaspora. Use your economic weight to lead on Caribbean development issues.

The Haiti relationship is your most sensitive bilateral issue. Frame border management as a sovereign right while acknowledging humanitarian obligations. Be prepared for questions about treatment of Haitian migrants -- emphasise the economic burden and call for international burden-sharing.

Coordinate with CARICOM observer partners and Latin American states. Your democratic credentials and economic dynamism give you credibility as a voice for Caribbean development and regional stability.
