Ambassadors support the delegates of a given State. This year's edition will count nine ambassadors; one for each permanent member of the Security Council (China, France, Great Britain, Russia and United States of America) and one for Brazil, Japan, India and South Africa. They assist the delegates in writing the position papers and assure the cohesiveness of the foreign policy of the given State. They act as a coach before and during the conference. Ambassadors may also provide delegates with information on the topics under consideration.
They 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 they deem of particular interest to them. 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. They may attempt to resolve disputes between member States or unforeseen events which affect their States interests. They always communicate with their delegates before taking the decision to address a committee directly. Furthermore, the 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 a foreign State. They should be prepared to do the bulk of the work mentioned above prior to the conference, taking into consideration that they 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. Students with model of United Nations experience may have an advantage in this task. However, such an experience is under no circumstances a condition in order to apply for this position.
