The rules did not allow delegates to represent the positions of their own countries and our student presented the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg which along with Australia had a two-year statute of non-permanent member of the Security Council for the period 2013-2014.

The topics worked out by the delegates in the fourth edition of the Youth Model of the UN in Cluj-Napoka covered the conflict in Syria and the growing influence of China in Africa.
