NORTHERN SYDNEY

Rules & Pre-Work

Please read these instructions carefully to prepare as a Team for Northern Sydney Model United Nations Assembly 2026

If completed Permission Forms for each team member have not already been submitted, please ensure they are uploaded here ASAP.

 

Country Delegations

You will be notified of the 2026 Resolutions and which country you have been allocated by about 4 weeks before the event via email.

Countries will be allocated to teams across the following 'voting blocs'. It will be important to know your fellow bloc members so you can form allies to help develop debating tactics.

Africa          Eastern Asia         Eastern Europe/Central Asia

Middle East         North America         Oceania         South America

South-Eastern Asia         Southern Asia         Western Europe

 

Research Your Country

You are encouraged to do as much research on your country as possible to improve your understanding of the country and its issues that relate to the resolutions for debate.

Use your research to form a stance on each resolution, and propose any amendments to 1-2 resolutions for open debate at MUNA.  Be prepared to argue your position on each resolution and any of your amendments so you can convince the assembly to vote in your favour.

You are also strongly encouraged to adopt their country’s national dress to add to their presentations.  There will be a separate award to the Delegation with the most appropriate / interesting national dress.

 

Indicate your Stance on Resolutions

After the Resolutions have been published, complete the Speaking Preference form below:

  • Indicate your stance “For” or “Against” each Resolution

  • Propose 1-2 Amendments to Resolutions

Finally, work with your team to prepare your arguments and ensure all team members have equal speaking rights.
