An article from the Council of Europe<\/a><\/p>\n

On 8 June 2021, on the initiative of the\u00a0Advisory Council on Youth (CCJ), the\u00a0Joint Council on Youth (CMJ)\u00a0<\/a> organised a thematic debate to mark the recent fifth anniversary of the adoption of the\u00a0United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security<\/a>, a text which\u00a0Jayathma Wickramanayake, UN Secretary General\u2019s Special Envoy on Youth\u00a0(pre-recorded message),explained has its origins in a youth-led movement.<\/p>\n

Across Europe and elsewhere, for many young people in Europe, protracted conflicts have become a part of normal life, a situation which, according to\u00a0Inka Hopsu, Third Vice-Chairperson,\u00a0Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media,\u00a0Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, <\/a> can be a barrier for the implementation of Resolution 2250.<\/p>\n

Miriam Teuma, Chair of the\u00a0European Steering Committee for Youth (CDEJ)<\/a>, spoke of the more restrictive lifestyle; limited access to education, work and services; self-isolation and social distancing which have resulted from the Covid-19 pandemic, the impact of which has been felt across the world. Miriam described her own country, Malta, as a doorway to Europe, and reflected on how the incoming migration as a result of conflict is symbolic of deeper and more pervasive problems.<\/p>\n

Youth participation and an enabling youth civil society are paramount to combating the democratic deficit that children and young people are being raised into according to\u00a0Rosaline Marbinah, Special\u00a0Representative on Youth & Security, OSCE<\/a>. Issues which were also touched on by\u00a0Andrea Ugrinoska, Chair of the Advisory Council on Youth (CCJ) and of the Joint Council on Youth (CMJ).<\/p>\n

For her part,\u00a0Paul\u00edna Jalak\u0161ov\u00e1,\u00a0Board Member,\u00a0European Youth Forum<\/a>, underlined the valuable role of young people and their organisations who contribute to a culture of peace through peace dialogue, reconciliation processes, and intercultural understanding within Europe and across the world.<\/p>\n

Pia\u00a0\u0160logar, Advisory Council on Youth (CCJ), spoke of the necessity to hear diverse voices. Excluding minority youth from decision and policymaking in the youth, peace and security agenda has a disproportionate impact, both direct and indirect, on minority groups.<\/p>\n

Reminding the participants that the large multilateral organisations were created mainly to protect peace,\u00a0Antje Rothemund, Head of the Youth Department, distinguished each one by its mandate: the UN is a forum for dialogue, meeting and exchange; the EU was created to safeguard peace through economic co-operation; the OSCE through dialogue and negotiation between East and West. For its part, the Council of Europe is founded on three pillars, without which peace cannot be protected, those of\u00a0democracy, human rights and the rule of law.<\/p>\n

Finally,\u00a0Graziano Tullio\u00a0explained how the Council of Europe\u2019s\u00a0North-South\u00a0Centre\u00a0<\/a> has been working on the youth, peace and security agenda since 2018 through confidence-building measures, intercultural dialogue and human rights education.<\/p>\n

This thematic debate will now inform the Advisory Council on Youth\u2019s further work on the youth, peace and security field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
