A/HRC/37/73
87.
States and United Nations entities should pay particular attention to youth
belonging to minorities when implementing Security Council resolution 2250 (2015).
88.
States and the international community should value the contribution of youth
peacebuilders and young civil society actors and engage with them; they should build
trust with, train and work with grass-roots minority youth groups on local and wider
issues related to conflict prevention and peacebuilding. States, parties to conflicts and
the international community should create these channels of communication to assess
the specific needs of minority youth in any given society and include their perspective
and concerns when negotiating and implementing peace processes, including at the
resettlement or repatriation and reintegration and reconstruction stages.
89.
States should create a safe environment for minority youth, specifically for
young women, to be able to participate in peacebuilding processes. They should
consider setting up mechanisms that would enable young people belonging to
minorities to participate meaningfully in peace processes and dispute resolution
mechanisms. They should ensure that minority youth, including young minority
women, are meaningfully involved at all levels of peacebuilding, conflict prevention
and countering of violence and violent extremism.
90.
Youth intercultural dialogue should be promoted as a critical tool for the
prevention of conflict and the promotion of reconciliation processes and mutual
understanding in post-conflict societies.
91.
States should incorporate intercultural learning and conflict resolution skills in
education systems and provide support to civil society educational initiatives that
provide youth, including minority youth, with such learning and skills development.
92.
States and regional and international organizations should ensure the support
and development of international programmes for youth, providing the opportunity
for intercultural exchanges and for the recognition and promotion of, and respect for,
diversity.
