Opening cermony finished

After the presentation and a few introductory words by Lund's University's Göran Bexell the delegations gathered to listen to Olof Beckman's Crash Course to the Security Council.
During the lecture Beckman made quite a few bold statements such as claiming that sanctions are the fastest, swiftest and with the furthest going long-term effects, way to kill people.

On a lighter note Beckman encouraged delegates to "learn how to drink coffee" as most decisions are taken outside the formal meeting rooms. He also encouraged everyone to "... try and try again" even when they'd run out of coffee and there was no fun at all. And so we all hope they will!
