  1. “Including us confirms the Council’s belief in our capabilities, and implementation will ensure opportunities for effective participation in decision-making for the development of our communities and will prepare us to lead the future. I was entrusted to carry the voice of my brothers and sisters — young Arabs — and I delivered their message today to the Security Council. My name is Razan Farhan Alaqil, a young Saudi Arabian woman and one of more than 100 million young Arabs. I thank the Council for giving us this opportunity, and we look forward to future opportunities for participation.”

  2. “Thirdly, we must ensure youth participation in the implementation of the priorities of the United Nations in its three main areas of work — the maintenance of international peace and security; international economic, social and political development; basic freedoms and good governance, all of which are connected, in order to form the pillar of multilateral international efforts and to bring about the desired international security. Fourthly, we must promote youth participation in the formulation and implementation of national and regional policies and plans through clear mechanisms for Arab and international action. Fifthly, youth participation can never be complete without the participation of women in all efforts. We are the youth of the world.”

  3. “First, we must ensure the participation of youth at all levels of the United Nations, from preventive diplomacy to early warning, conflict prevention, conflict management, peacekeeping, conflict resolution and peace negotiations and post-conflict peacebuilding, and in achieving sustainable peace and ensuring the non-recurrence of conflicts. Secondly, we must work on resolving the main Arab challenges before the Security Council, which are depleting the energy of the Arab world, so that we can direct financial and human resources towards development and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.”

  4. “In that context, in the Security Council, we stress the importance of youth participation in implementing United Nations priorities in the three pillars of United Nations work, namely, maintaining international peace and security, economic, social and political development and fundamental freedoms and good governance, all of which are interlinked and intersect to form the mainstay of multilateral international action and achieve the desired international peace. In conclusion, we, the Arab youth generation, are sending a message to the generation of leaders here in the Chamber and the world by emphasizing the following key recommendations.”

  5. “The establishment of the platform is the beginning of efforts to include young people in sustainable development work towards achieving the 2030 Agenda for the development of the region. However, the success and continuity of its work will be ensured only with continued support for youth leadership by promoting and enhancing youth participation in drawing up national and regional policies and plans through clear mechanisms for Arab and international action and recognition of the importance of young people in their implementation.”

  6. “Kazem Karabsheh, from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, has been working within the initiatives of the Jordanian Ministry of Youth for years in training young people on the Sustainable Development Goals. Omar Al-Mutawa, from the United Arab Emirates, was the first youth delegate of that country to the United Nations and dealt with a number of important dossiers. Hala Al-Khamis, from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, established an association that seeks to spread the culture of volunteerism and giving in society and lead change, with thousands of volunteers in the Kingdom, in order to achieve the 2030 Agenda. In 2019, the League of Arab States agreed to establish the Arab Youth Platform for Sustainable Development, with the membership of all States.”

  7. “Thirdly, on youth from the Arab world and the Security Council, there are a number of Arab young people who make local efforts that serve their communities, which is reflected in the development of the region. The following are just examples and models among tens of millions. However, in their local work we can reflect on what can be achieved with regard to development at the regional level thanks to their participation in peace and security dialogues based on their experiences and competence, not their age. Mr. Sameh Kamel, from the Arab Republic of Egypt, has been a youth representative at the United Nations since 2016 and led the establishment of the Arab Youth Platform for Sustainable Development of the League of Arab States.”

  8. “It is therefore necessary to address the main Arab challenges and dossiers before the Security Council, which deplete the energy of the Arab world, so that we can direct financial and human resources towards development and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In that regard, the roles of the Security Council and the League of Arab States and the cooperation between them are pivotal. Including the young generation in such efforts will enhance sustained efforts to resolve current and future challenges. In that context, our message is that we are competent because your generation raised us this way. We ask that we be included.”

  9. “We believe that the inclusion of youth means giving us a fair opportunity, based on our knowledge and our rights, since we are truly qualified not only to bring value added to important discussions but also as active members in efforts regarding development for peace and security in our region and the world. We should be perceived based on our professional and vocational capabilities, not just on our age. We should be considered as competent to participate alongside. Belief in us — we are of your making — and our inclusion in actions to maintain peace and security will enable us to lead the future.”

  10. “We emphasize the participation of young people at all levels of United Nations work, from preventive diplomacy to early warning, conflict prevention, conflict management, peacekeeping, conflict resolution, peace negotiations and post-conflict peacebuilding, and in achieving sustainable peace and ensuring the non-recurrence of conflicts. Secondly, on the role of youth in bringing about peace and security and achieving sustainable development in the region, I say to participants and my young Arab brothers and sisters who are listening to me, let me speak from experience. The Security Council has given my generation this opportunity to dream of a promising future, filled not only with our own hopes but also with the hopes of all those in the Chamber.”

  11. ““Recognizing that youth should actively be engaged in shaping lasting peace and contributing to justice and reconciliation,” (resolution 2250 (2015), ninth preambular paragraph); “Urges Member States to consider ways to increase inclusive representation of youth in decision-making at all levels” (ibid., para. 1). In the outcome statement of the Global Youth Summit 2020, presided over by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it was stressed that the Group of 20 should encourage the role of young people in decision-making because they are the catalysts for a more just and sustainable future. In addition, on the item entitled “Empowering youth”, it emphasized the need to include young people in decision-making and ensure their representation, participation and inclusion in decision-making bodies.”

First, United Nations and international resolutions on the inclusion of youth; secondly, the role of youth in bringing about peace and security and achieving sustainable development in the region; thirdly, youth from the Arab world and the Security Council; and, lastly, some recommendations.

Some important messages were emphasized.”

  13. “I would like to greet all participants by saying peace be upon you from the youth of the Arab world, carrying a message of hope from that generation. I am honoured to be here today and to greet those present with a message of hope and peace. I travelled here to convey a message on behalf of more than 100 million young women and men from the Middle East and North Africa. I am here today representing one of the largest generations of young people in history worldwide, as young people in the Arab world represent 60 per cent of its entire population. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in this meeting. I thank the Security Council for giving us this chance and for listening to the voice of Arab youth. My generation’s message today is about engaging young people in effective participation in maintaining peace to build the future.”
