Writing and delivering speeches are important aspects in AMUN. Speeches help delegates convey the positions of their countries, help build consensus and start formulating resolutions.

It is essential that delegates come to the conference well prepared: meaning that they have completed prior reach, know their country's position, identify possible oppositions to it and even have objectives for a resolution.

That being said, the speeches shall include:

-   Brief introduction of your country's history on the topic;

-   The current situation of the topic;

-   Your country's overall position on the topic/reason for position;

-   Your country's position within the bloc, major powers, etc;

-   Past actions taken by the UN, Member States etc to combat the problem;

-   Possible ideas or objectives for a resolution;

-   Role of NGOs in combating the issue (if applicable); and

-   Whether there is room for negotiation.

Mr. Anthony Hogan, Model UN International, suggests the system of six "Cs" to improve your ability:

- Confidence

- Clear

- Concise

- Constructive

- "Con Passion”

- Critique

These six Cs are necessary and should be included in the research, writing, and delivery of the speeches. It is also important to consider engaging the audience when forming and delivering a speech.
