This proposal petition identifies and sets out in broad terms the concepts that should define the formation of the proposed UNAOC YOUTH COUNCIL. This will involve a wider set of youths to generate an internal process of ownership of the UN Alliance of Civilizations’ goals. Moreover, this is a mechanism to partner with youths globally in exchange lessons learned regarding challenges of cultural diversity, including identity based tensions.

The meaningful engagement of young people in policy formulation, implementation and evaluation has led to better and more effective delivery. Conversely, youth exclusion, deliberate or otherwise, has been seen to create significant tensions, which can manifest themselves as disaffection and leading to crime and violence.

I wholeheartedly support this initiative. If the UNAOC seeks to support the greater inclusion of youth at all levels of society it must take the first step in that direction.
