men from minority groups should inform community-led initiatives aimed at local stabilization, and to address grievances productively. Chairperson, The programs we have just mentioned are some of the many steps the United States is taking to support minority youth in the areas that are the focus of this forum: inclusive education, participation in public and political life, media in the digital age, and sustaining peace and stability. From our global interactions with youth, it is clear that they have common hopes and desires; among them are fairness and an equal opportunity to succeed. They expect their human rights to be respected; their leaders to be inclusive; and their institutions to be transparent. Governments have an important role to play as partners in this global effort to create an enabling environment for youth around the world to have their human rights upheld and to realize their dreams. As part of this work, we encourage and support young people to engage in understanding, promoting, and protecting human rights, and further, to participate in and lead the creation of more just, secure, and inclusive societies. Thank you.
