On\u00a0the International Day for Human Rights, in light with the anniversary of\u00a0the issuance of\u00a0the Universal Declaration of Human Rights\u00a0in accordance with\u00a0the United Nations Resolution on December 10, 1948, which came to affirm the right of everyone to life, the right to personal security, and the right to justice, education, and all\u00a0rights.<\/p>\n
The International Alliance for Peace and Development (IAPD) asserts on the importance of the role of youth in promoting human rights, youth have an important role around the world in supporting rights, anti-racism, hate speech, bullying, discrimination, and climate change.<\/p>\n
Human rights are at the heart of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as\u00a0in the absence of\u00a0human dignity we cannot drive sustainable development. Human Rights\u00a0are driven\u00a0by progress on all\u00a0SDGs, and the\u00a0SDGs\u00a0are driven\u00a0by advancements in human rights.\u00a0Youth participation is essential to\u00a0achieve\u00a0sustainable development for all specially with the\u00a0participation in the political and public life which is a fundamental principle of human rights. Young people are seeking to\u00a0participate\u00a0in all decisions that have a direct and indirect impact upon their wellbeing. They need\u00a0to be\u00a0heard to\u00a0inform\u00a0more effective decision-making processes and achieve sustainable development for all.<\/p>\n
The International Alliance believes in the idea of empowering young people to promote human rights, and has carried out many activities\u00a0aimed at\u00a0enhancing\u00a0the ability of\u00a0youth to protect human rights issues. The IAPD held training sessions on the United Nation human rights mechanisms\u00a0that it\u00a0combined\u00a0the theoretical aspect to the practical participation in the sessions of the Human Rights Council at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, together with the involvement of a \u00a0distinguished group of experts.<\/p>\n
The IAPD also implemented a number of seminars targeting youth in different countries around the world on the United Nations Global counter-terrorism strategy, under the global belief that the spread of terrorism and extremism around the world is considered a flagrant violation of enjoyment of human rights.<\/p>\n
We call on all governments and individuals to comply to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, respect all human rights conventions and stop violations of human rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
