Team Strada was awarded Best Small Delegation at the event! Small delegations were teams with 19 or less members, and Team Strada participated with seven delegates. Max Wilson represented Lithuania in the General Assembly, submitted a position paper on and debated the following topics: Analyzing the Effects of Globalization as it Relates to Chronic Poverty, and Discussing an Efficient Way of Stabilizing Inflation within International Trade Karina Brisack represented Lichtenstein in the Disarmament Committee, submitted a position paper on and debated the following topics: Considering Measures to Regulate the Implementation of Biological and Chemical Weapons, and Discussing the Control of Ammunition Stockpiling There were over 700 high school delegates at the MUNSA conference including teams from Mexico.
