Over the weekend, Team LSE participated in the Oxford International Model United Nations. With teams coming from all around the world, such as MUN Society Belgium, United Netherlands, Harbin Engineering University and West Point, the conference was truly a multi-national affair. Our delegates discussed issues ranging from the Nigerian Refugee Crisis to the Future of Jobs at Risk of Automation and Use of Technology in committees like SPECPOL and UNODC.
