Human rights, elections and young people 4 July 2007
|
The right to participation is one of the key principles with regard to electoral and political processes. Young people like yourselves will be the leaders of the future. You are among the stakeholders of the peace process, and you should have an important role in shaping the political agenda. But only too often young people are sidelined or marginalized. Participation of young people often risks being tokenism rather than meaningful. I wonder how many of you were consulted in the drafting of the CPA or the Interim Constitution.
