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. 14
