Over the last 3 days, Young teenagers from across world stood in the shoes of official delegates, representing the countries making up the official United Nations, in the annual Model UN conference held by the students of LSE (London School of Economics) .Debating some of the biggest topics in our world today concerning Cyber-nationalism, COVID-19 and Climate change. This year's model UN was filled with young people aged 16-17 eager to make their voices heard on a platform of over 200 people, addressing and debating reforms as part of specific committees, but things did not go as smoothly as expected …  

This year, the traditional conference underwent some changes being online this year, but was still carried out smoothly through the effective planning of the student chairs, through a video conference, and the Youth MUN online platform. This was the  main stage of rivalry and debate where the delegates of countries proposed their motions and speeches.  

 Split up in the various committees,specializing from international security, to humanitarian, and administrative global issues, in the beginning  the delegates of                   each country first entered  formal debate , with each delegate being able to  raise their hand to motion to  be  a part of the speakers list .Debating the assigned topic at hand ; the delegates of the various countries declared their positions and  intentions  in relation to the issue. They make speeches to the entire committee answering  questions, and debating on resolutions and amendments. These are discussed informally in unmoderated caucuses and formally in moderated causes, where delegates are required to refer to each other and themselves in third person and where the phrase ‘Thankyou honorable chair’ was most used by delegates each time they began a speech. 

Whilst the clock ticked away under allocated time limits, in attempts to gain and declare favorable support to and from other delegates, countries proposed alliances through discreet messages and innuendos they could send each other, hatching coalitions... 

In the committee of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees delegates were split into break rooms to form resolutions and where break room one went head-to-head with number 2.  

The delegates of China and Portugal mercilessly scrutinized  each other's two competing resolutions, as tensions increased when China accused Portugal of 'selling human lives’ through their idea of ‘refugee slots for cash’  in which they proposed a quota scheme for each country and this is how left over spaces would be dealth with .Which China described as a ‘cash grab' having 'thought that slavery was over', and concluding that breakout room two’s resolution was ‘unhumanitarian'. However, Portugal was quick to respond through the passing of subsequent amendments and commenting that it was 'ironic' of China to accuse another of such acts, considering recent news there  ... 

However, by the second day tensions did not simmer as the words ‘fascist' and 'imperialist' were thrown around in relation to the attitude of certain delegates.  

The third day differed in that delegates were assigned as part of a crisis committee trying to quickly find resolutions for new emergency topics. The crisis was continuously updated by staffers as changes took place in relation the crisis. One of these began with the interception of vaccinations by a criminal organization call ‘Terror Global’ however things rapidly escalated when the American president was held hostage by the group and delegates accused each other of cooperation with the criminals. Soon after ,Austria became the main target as Nuclear bombs were being dropped  on it when countries felt their sovereignty was breached ...Soon after it was found that Prime Minister Boris Johnson had died because of his vaccination being poisoned, as a result of  the diversion of  attention from  most of the  delegates in creating WW3. It was fair to say that after United Kingdom proposed 10 second of silence for the deceased Prime Minister , sentiments of grief soon turned to complete destruction and mutiny. Whilst Some like Nigeria were saddened by their lack of ability to participate in the nuclear war because of the lack of facilities and expenses to do so ...
