Motion
On a Charter of Youth Participation in Preventive Diplomacy
The Young World Parliament,
Noting that young people are a majority of the population in many societies affected by conflict,
Recalling the growing international recognition of the role of youth in peace and security,
Observing that agreements reached without those who must live under them are fragile,
- Calls upon mediators and convening institutions to reserve observer places for young people at every stage of formal peace processes;
- Recommends that each mediation publish, at its conclusion, a record of youth consultations held and how their input was considered;
- Establishes a roster of Young Leaders trained in mediation support, maintained by the Committee on Diplomacy & Consular Affairs;
- Transmits this Resolution to United World Leaders for consideration within its preventive diplomacy work.
