  1. “Apart from comprehensive efforts to eliminate the social, economic, cultural, religious and other grounds for the spread of Violent extremism among youth, the United Nations has to take the fight against the propaganda of intolerance and hatred to a new level. To reach this goal, we might need to explore ways of establishing an international mechanism to reveal such facts in real time, condemn them, and above all identify the means of discouraging those spreading such propaganda. As a country experiencing first-hand the grave consequences of such vicious propaganda coming from its neighbour, Ukraine is ready to actively contribute to taking this initiative forward.”

  2. “There are reported cases of teeagers participating in the activity of the pro-Russian terrorist gangs in certain areas of eastern Ukraine. Some are 15-years old and even younger. There is also credible information that the Russian-coordinated and sponsored terrorist groups are trying to force students into their ranks using different means of influence. Moreover, there is testimony that such means as promising to annul criminal records or to repay loans are practiced in the Russian campaign to recruit mercenaries into the terrorist gangs operating in the Donbas. Young people are common Victims of this recruiting campaign.”

  3. “For more than a year, Ukraine has suffered from the aggression of its big neighbour, the Russian Federation. Russia has temporarily occupied and made an attempt to annex a part of the territory of Ukraine - the Autonomous Republic of Crimea - and continues hostile and subversive actions against our country in the Donbas. Still, the military component of the aggression is far from the most dangerous one. Fierce, deceitful propaganda disseminated by the State-controlled Russian media and through numerous other means is one of the key elements of the ongoing aggression against Ukraine. The international community has to be alarmed by the fact that this Soviet-style propaganda machine works very well, first and foremost on youth.”

  4. “The United Nations, in particular the Security Council, as well as other United Nations bodies and entities, including the Office of the Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth, have to play a key role in preventing violent extremism. Of high importance in this regard is ensuring the effective implementation of resolutions 1624 (2005) and 2178 (2014). Unfortunately, young people constitute one of the strata most vulnerable to factors leading to radicalism and extremism. There are many such factors, yet one of the most important, especially vis-a-vis youth, is propaganda. Violent extremist groups actively exploit this tool through media and social networks. In our opinion, the most dangerous situation emerges when manipulative propaganda is elevated to the rank of State priorities.”

  5. “My delegation would like to express sincere gratitude to Jordan for organizing this high-level debate on the role of youth in countering violent extremism and promoting peace. Extremism and terrorism nowadays pose a serious threat to peace, security and stability in the world. We fully agree that there is a need to intensify our common work to address this issue and place youth at the centre of the global agenda to counter Violent extremism. Radicalization among youth should be prevented and stopped, yet the achievement ofthis goal will be possible only through concrete strategies aimed at consolidating all existing efforts and strengthening close cooperation among all stakeholders.”
