                       “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.
