OUTCOME
“The solutions proposed highlight the value of solidarity”
The UN Youth Assembly was made up of 21 delegations representing, for the first time in the
history of FerMUN, the youth of their own countries. The delegates together expressed their
voices and those of all other young people in the global discussion around the 75th anniversary
of the United Nations, with the aim of building a better future through international cooperation
and inclusion.
75 years after the creation of the United Nations, should the mission of maintaining peace
among nations remain the organization's priority? And what should be the new priorities of the
United Nations in 2045, when the organization turns 100 years old?
These were the questions that the delegates of the UN Youth Assembly had to face. Over 3
days, they engaged in discussions about the inclusion of minorities, improving accessibility for
people with disabilities, access to health and education for all, multilateralism, and ecology.
The solutions adopted in the Action Paper fall into five main categories: active inclusion
mechanisms; awareness-raising campaigns; education, healthcare and social policy;
environmental protection; and, finally, reinforcement of multilateralism, for instance through
UN reform. The solutions proposed highlight the value of solidarity, be it at the local level by
improving disabled accessibility, at the national level through quality education and collective
support nets, or at the global level through common funds and international cooperation.
Through efficient debate and collaboration, they were able to tackle all the subjects they felt
were necessary for their future. With 19 votes in favor and 2 abstentions, the delegates adopted
an Action Paper that is now a part of the UN75 campaign.
