Youth Delegates Participation at the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Youth Delegates Programme is an important and crucial mechanism for the participation of young people in the work of the United Nations. Every year, many Member States support their youth delegates as part of their official delegation to the United Nations General Assembly and various functional Commissions of the Economic and Social Council. The intergovernmental processes give youth an opportunity to actively participate and understand the intricacies of negotiations, achieving consensus and diplomacy executed at the various levels of decision making processes. Most importantly, youth delegates bring creativity, energy and new perspectives to highlight issues and interests that globally concern them. Upon their return to their home countries, youth delegates continue to impart their knowledge and lessons learned from the Youth Delegates experience to members of their communities. For the years 2017-2018, several Youth Delegates attended various intergovernmental processes including the General Assembly opening and debate, and the upcoming Third Committee that deals with a range of social, humanitarian and human rights issues including those of youth. The underlying principle of youth participation in the work of the United Nations lies in its inherent potential to create better policy and programmatic dialogue between young people and their Governments on youth issues. The Youth Flash monthly newsletter interviewed Paige Burton, the current Australian Youth Delegate to share her perspectives on how participation at intergovernmental bodies through the Youth Delegates Programme, helps empower her and other youth.
