MUN RESOURCES

Below is a list of web addresses that may help you in your quest for information. These sites may provide you with evidence to defend your arguments and provide you with materials to help you understand your country's point of view on an issue.

Contact your country's embassy, try searches on the web, and of course try printed material such as journals, magazines, and periodicals.
