In this section you can find the necessary information about local, national and/or international processes, including those of the United Nations. It also includes resources and tools you can use to get involved and lists upcoming events in which you can participate.
Participation in decision-making is one of the key priority areas of the UN's agenda on youth. One form of youth participation at the United Nations has been through the inclusion of youth delegates in a country's official delegation to the United Nations General Assembly and various functional Commissions. The role of a youth representative varies from country to country. One focus of a youth delegate’s work is in the Third Committee, the part of the General Assembly that deliberates on Social, Cultural and Humanitarian Issues. In past instances, youth delegates have delivered statements on issues of concern to young people in the Third Committee. http://www.takingitglobal.org/action/voice/ |
