OUTCOME

“Limiting insecurities by reducing risks in the cyberspace.”

The Security Council was made up of 26 delegates representing 14 different countries.

The digital revolution has brought great development and prosperity in numerous sectors. It has
been claimed that the development of modern computer technology rivals the discovery of

fire in its progressive effect on humanity. However, despite the undeniable benefits of ICTs, the
more countries digitalize and take part in the world’s technological evolution, the more they
become vulnerable to digital espionage and cyber-attacks. The lack of control over possible

conflicts in cyberspace is an issue that the Security Council took measures to solve. By reducing
risks in cyberspace, the delegates of the Security Council aimed to limit insecurities arising from
it.

In the two resolutions adopted by the committee, the delegates took into account not only
questions of national sovereignty, but also the importance of the private sector, essential to

questions of technological development.

The young people representing the members of the Security Council showed their
determination to make the best of the digital revolution through international cooperation.
Their resolutions are the proof of their ability to overcome the challenges of these two issues,

working together for a better future.
