About this template
A position paper is the document most conferences require before you arrive: a formal statement of where your country stands on the agenda item, what it has done about it, and what it wants the committee to do next. This template produces one in the standard four-section format — background, national position, past actions, proposed solutions — ready to footnote and export.
It is written to read like a real delegation's submission, not a summary of the topic. Every factual claim carries a footnote to a UN document, a ministry release, or a treaty text, so your chair sees a paper that is sourced rather than asserted — the difference between an award-track paper and a generic one.
Model Diplomat vs. generic AI
The same prompt in a general chatbot can produce something that reads right and isn't. Here's the difference.
| Aspect | This template | ChatGPT / generic AI |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | Primary documents, cited and openable | Often fabricated, or none at all |
| Format | Conference-ready, in your committee's standard structure | A blank page — you supply the format |
| Verifiability | Every claim checkable against its source | No way to tell what's real |
| Built for the work | Tuned for diplomacy, politics, and law | General-purpose, not domain-aware |
| Cost | Free to start | — |
