The team is sponsored by the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs (\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.inta.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EINTA\u003C\/a\u003E), the European Union Center of Excellence (\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.euce.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EEUCE\u003C\/a\u003E), and the Georgia Tech Center for International Business and Education Research (\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.ciber.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003ECIBER\u003C\/a\u003E).\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe conference hosted 3000 students from nearly 250 universities and colleges across 39 nations. The  delegates from Georgia Tech represented The Kingdom of Belgium at the various General Assembly, Economic and Social Council and Regional Bodies Committees, learning and discussing today\u2019s most relevant issues of international diplomacy ranging from the Taliban to Universal Jurisdiction to the expansion of NATO. The GT delegates spent six tough months researching Belgium\u2019s domestic and foreign policies on the assigned topics, writing position papers and learning rules and procedures of the conference.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis pre-conference preparation aided us in articulating and defending the opinions of the real UN ambassadors, and in being more effective by contributing to debate, caucusing, and resolution-writing. At the conference, delegates honed their analytical, lobbying, diplomacy, debating, resolution writing and most importantly, their public speaking skills, often times speaking to a group of over 400 students. While being an excellent academic forum, the conference also provided a great networking forum for future leaders, hosting social events like the Club night and the customary Delegate Dance.  The MUN participants came away from this conference having met people from all over the world, with a greater understanding of the problems that plague the world, and a stronger commitment to find solutions to these problems.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe GT Delegates at HNMUN 2011 are:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\no Malini
