UN Security Council Urges Involving Youth in Addressing Security Issues in the Mediterranean
Инвестиции в молодых людей – это инвестиции в мир. Об этом в среду заявила заместитель Генерального секретаря по политическим вопросам Розмари Дикарло на заседании Совбеза ООН, которое было посвящено роли молодежи в решении проблем безопасности в Средиземноморье.
В странах Южного и Восточного Средиземноморья молодежь составляет 55 процентов населения, отметила она. Кроме того, большинство из тех, кто отправляется в опасное путешествие по Средиземному морю, спасаясь от конфликтов и нищеты, – молодые люди.
Молодежь в военных зонах
По словам Дикарло, молодые девушки и девочки особенно уязвимы к жестокому обращению и эксплуатации. При этом, по оценкам, более 90 процентов всех смертей в результате боевых действий приходится на молодых мужчин, а каждый четвертый представитель юного поколения в мире живет в условиях вооруженного конфликта или насилия.
Замглавы ООН по политическим вопросам отметила, что в одном из регионов Средиземноморья сейчас разворачивается катастрофа: нападение ХАМАС на Израиль 7 октября и война в Газе разрушили множество молодых жизней.
Участие молодежи
«Влияние войны и насилия на молодых людей хорошо известно, – подчеркнула Дикарло. – Что до сих пор недостаточно понимают, так это то, что молодежь – с ее энергией, новаторскими идеями и креативностью – может сделать усилия по обеспечению мира более устойчивыми и эффективными».
Ключевым моментом, по мнению заместителя Генсека, является создание политического пространства для того, чтобы представители нового поколения могли конструктивно участвовать в инициативах в области мира и безопасности.
