The sun made a brief but appreciated appearance earlier on Saturday. As we moved into the evening of such a film-like autumn Saturday, delegates from around the planet occupy the lecture halls of the Stockholm School of Economics. Working since the crack of dawn, they began submitting draft resolutions to our headquarters. Gabriel Gabiro, distinguished senior advisor to SMUN and former president of SMUN (2011), described the process as "different councils submit a wide range of draft resolutions. We review them for formatting and structural issues before sending them back to the councils. The level of debate and argument in this year's councils appears to be particularly high. Perhaps due to the fact that this year's topics are very relevant issues in our world today."
