What is a policy statement?
Policy Statement is
- an official document that briefly and clearly explains how your country views a certain problem, what previous experience of dealing with that sort of problems was, and what solutions your country is willing to offer.

Example country – Syria

What is the structure of policy statement?
Delegation: Syrian Arab Republic
Committee: Environmental
Question of: assessing genetic engineering regarding its consequences for agriculture and nutrition
You are representing not your opinion but the official position of the country

Three main questions of Policy statement
What is the background of your country in regard to the problem?
How does your country treat the issue currently?
What does your country want to achieve in regard to the issue?

Paragraph #1
Try to state laconically how your country views a certain. You should no be extremely specific, but show that your country gravely addresses the issue
The Syrian Arab Republic considers genetic engineering as one of the most significant ways to prevent famine and the lack of food in arid regions with infertile soil. Despite the civil war, Syria discusses the possibility of developing genetic engineering in order to develop intractable lands of the country (such as South-eastern part, Syrian Desert) for the cultivation of wheat, barley and other agricultural products. Moreover, systematically correct development of genetic engineering allows the country to receive humanitarian aid not only in the form of products, but also in the form of crops adapted to the conditions of the Syrian environment.

Paragraph #2
Possible solutions to solve the problem (try to be creative and realistic and the same time)
The main goal of our government is to ensure all possible actions to stimulate the development of genetic engineering with countries, providing us with support in the form of humanitarian assistance and assistance in the political arena. The Syrian state considers the following methods that can promote the development of genetic engineering:
Promoting the development of associations and joint work of farmers and scientific institutions of genetic engineering,
Encourage the development of genetic engineering by the state, through the provision of various forms of support,

Paragraph #3
Try to summarize what you have already said. Do not be excessively repetitive; better rephrase.
In conclusion, we are open for any cooperation in order to achieve proper development and using of genetic engineering. The government of Syria is fully confident that the future of agricultural development is behind genetic engineering and selection, which will eliminate food problems in the foreseeable future.
