  1. “That is our call for action today - to ensure that meaningful youth engagement in peace processes become mainstreamed simply because it brings about change and because it can create lasting peace.”

  2. “The organization works on anti-radicalization and countering violent extremism. Based on a mapping exercise, Think Peace has come up with concrete recommendations to Governments, political parties and civil society on how to mitigate conflict and violent confrontations during the upcoming presidential elections in Mali. We need more initiatives like that one, where young people are meaningfully engaged in finding the solution. Let me conclude by repeating the main message: youth are crucial agents of change. Together, across generations, we must unlock that potential and give youth the best possible conditions for them to promote peace and security.”

  3. “I think part of the reason for that was that we managed to agree that the summit should include youth in the discussions and in determining the solutions to the challenges they face. The adoption of resolution 2250 (2015) was a historic milestone. The clear normative focus and political strength of the resolution is crucial, but it is not enough in itself. The true value lies in the success of its implementation. Our goal today must be to build a stronger common understand of how we can translate resolution 2250 (2015) into action. We must ask ourselves how we can create results on the ground for the millions of young people who are affected by armed conflict but are limited in contributing to the solutions. Allow me to mention an example. In Mali, Denmark supports a youth organization called Think Peace.”

  4. “We also have to look at risk, because if we do not listen to the youth, they may be a source of instability and conflict. Youth all around the world deserve a bright future and to live in a safe, free and prosperous world in which fundamental human rights are respected. Youth are not only the leaders of tomorrow, they are also crucial partners of today, as many have said. Engaging youth as essential stakeholders in peace processes and in policy development in general is a way to reinforce legitimacy and effectiveness. In November, C6te d'Ivoire was host to a summit between the European Union and the African Union with the headline of investing in youth. It was a very successful summit.”

  5. “It is a privilege to take part in this open debate on youth, peace and security. We welcome the progress study (see S/2018/86) and would like to applaud the participatory process in which thousands of young people have been engaged. Denmark is a strong supporter of resolution 2250 (2015), and therefore part of the Youth Champion Group on the resolution. We have also sponsored a United Nations Development Programme study on youth's role in supporting peace and stability, which has informed the progress study we see before us today. The reason for Denmark's strong support is simple: we firmly believe that global youth has huge potential as peacebuilders and agents of positive change, and we find it crucial to unleash that potential.”
