To apply for a position of ambassador please send your CV and a brief statement that supports your choice of country and discusses the manner in which you would like to lead your delegation, to sg [at] gimun [dot] org as early as possible. The last date for applying is Monday, 8th December.

As an ambassador you will be tasked in assisting your delegates in writing their position papers and in assuring the cohesiveness of the foreign policy of the given State. You will act as a coach before and during the conference. Ambassadors may also provide delegates with information on the topics under consideration.

You must also present at least two working papers (a document which could serve as the basic document for a future draft resolution) in two committees, which you deem of particular interest to your State. These working papers are proposed by delegates with the help of the ambassadors assuring the coordination of the work involved. These draft resolutions will be presented by the ambassadors to the chairpersons of the relevant committees and to of the Secretary Generals ONE WEEK PRIOR to the opening of the GIMUN conference.

Ambassadors lead the daily meetings with the delegates, in order to pursue their foreign policy and to advice delegates upon their strategy. You may attempt to resolve disputes between member States or unforeseen events which affect your State's interests. You must always communicate with your delegates before taking the decision to address a committee directly. Furthermore, ambassadors keep in touch with the journalists from the GIMUNews. This involves giving interviews, participating in press conferences, or even writing columns.

Students applying for the position should be particularly interested in the foreign policy of States. You should be prepared to do the bulk of the work mentioned above prior to the conference, taking into consideration that you will coach a team of six members. Since you will follow a schedule provided by the Secretary Generals that determines the outcome of a large group of people, you need to be able to stick to deadlines and to motivate your delegates to do the same.

The most important criteria of becoming an ambassador is your motivation and your capacity to adapt quickly to new situations without sacrificing the cohesiveness of the foreign policy of your State.

The following member-states will be headed by an ambassador:

• United States of America
• United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
• Peoples Republic of China
• French Republic
• Russian Federation
• Republic of India
• Federative Republic of Brazil
• Germany
• South Africa

We look forward to receiving your applications.

Sincerely,

Martin Staub, Faraz Merchant

Secretaries-General
