  2. “In September of 2017, youth organizations, together with my country's Government and in conjunction with the United Nations Population Fund and Interpeace, established a focus group on resolution 2250 (2015) and a working group on SDG 16 and that resolution, aimed at discussing the pillars set out in the resolution and interpreting it within the context of our national reality so as to advance towards the development of a national action plan for the implementation of resolution 2250 (2015).”

  3. “From today's perspective relating to sustainable development and its link with youth, peace and security agenda, I recall that, in 2016, my country was selected by the United Nations system for the accelerated implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and we are one of seven countries that participate in the pilot project for the implementation of SDG 16 targets and indicators to achieve peace, justice and strong institutions. We also call attention to the fact that, at the national level, we are currently sponsoring an initiative to move forward our national action plan for the implementation of resolution 2250 (2015).”

  4. “In that context, the Peacebuilding Commission has the responsibility to adopt a broader and more inclusive approach, while preserving the most urgent cases as priority. Likewise, we stress the need for the peaceful and constructive engagement of youth, especially young women, from the earliest stages of prevention, crisis resolution and peacebuilding. In that regard, we take note of the progress study on youth, peace and security (see S/2018/86), and we agree with its findings regarding the role of the media in forming stereotypes among young people. Unfortunately, the negative actions that certain young people take are always highlighted and the coverage of positive actions is left aside. Similarly, we stress that youth, peace and security cannot be disassociated from the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

  5. “That policy seeks to carry out three main processes, namely, developing their identity and autonomy; improving their social integration and civic engagement; and promoting social cohesion and a sense of belonging. As we will also emphasize tomorrow at the General Assembly high-level meeting on peacebuilding and sustainable peace, for my delegation, peacebuilding is not onlyatransitory stage,but also an ongoing endeavour, since it implies not only the cessation of armed conflict, but also the construction of public institutions and the development of a civic consciousness that provides a firm foundation. That task consists of prioritizing cases of widespread violence in society.”

  6. “In order to benefit from that demographic boom and offer new prospects to our youth, El Salvador must address violence and insecurity as two of the main challenges facing them, and integrate all relevant actors into the efforts undertaken to that end. We know that challenges remain, but we are committed to the implementation of resolution 2250 (2015) to bridge the gaps left by the armed conflict in our country and to build an inclusive society in which young people play a fundamental role in decision-making and in building a culture of peace. That is why our national youth policy categorizes our youth in three groups: as an at-risk group, as subjects of the law and as strategic actors in development.”

  7. “Mr. Escalante Hasbun (El Salvador) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, we would like to thank you, Mr. President, and Peru for convening this open debate. We also welcome the Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth, as well as the special guests at this meeting, for their briefings this morning. My country, as everyone knows, has a historic commitment to youth after having lived through a 12- year armed conflict. Now, 26 years later, Salvadoran youth have become important agents of change in the post-conflict stage and in building a culture of peace. One of the key features of the population of my country is that it is mostly young, with 63.7 per cent under 30-years old.”
