Your participation in this Model UN comes at a time when the international community increasingly recognizes the power of young people to change our world. I am proud to have appointed the first-ever United Nations Envoy on Youth, Ahmad Alhindawi a 29 year-old leader from Jordan. He will be an advocate who will stand up for your interests and advise me on how we can best respond to issues of concern to the world’s young people. The United Nations has also created a dedicated trust fund to boost youth volunteerism and harness the energy of young people from different countries to help us reach our global development goals. These and other measures aimed at empowering young people are part of our effort to enlist youth in helping to address the turmoil and uncertainty that grip much of our world. From tense transitions and armed conflict, to economic and environmental distress across the globe, we are being tested every minute of every day. I count on you to use the negotiating skills you learn in Model UN to help navigate the realworld problems we face. Join forces with likeminded individuals and groups to promote understanding and generate positive change. Continue to draw on the experience to help and inspire others. This will enrich you as individuals and enhance our common future. BAN Ki-moon MESSAGE TO 2013 ROME MODEL UNITED NATIONS DELEGATES
