@ihlyi.bsky.social🌍 We believe youth participation goes beyond following international discussions: it means contributing to them and advancing recommendations that reflect the needs and aspirations of communities affected by conflict.
@ihlyi.bsky.socialThis engagement reflects IHLYI’s commitment to bringing young people’s voices, particularly those from conflict-affected communities, into international peace and security forums. #UNGA81
@ihlyi.bsky.socialThe workshop forms part of IHLYI ’s participation in the #UNGA81 #First_Committee_on_Disarmament_and_International_Security in New York, where the Initiative is participating as an observer in discussions on disarmament and international security.
@ihlyi.bsky.socialParticipants also discussed how maritime security connects with the broader disarmament and international security agenda, exploring opportunities to strengthen youth engagement in international discussions and develop advocacy recommendations to address these challenges #UNGA81
@ihlyi.bsky.socialIn parallel with the #UNGA81 #First_Committee_on_Disarmament_and_International_Security members of the @IHLYIInitiative came together on 9 and 10 October for a two-day workshop focused on maritime security and its humanitarian and security dimensions.👇🏻👇🏻
