The FerMUN United Nations Youth Assembly,

Considering that youth and Generation Z will be faced both by great problems and by the
responsibility of being leaders in the near future, and thus that they are extremely important,
meaning that their education and the values they are taught are vital in creating the world of

tomorrow,

Expressing its determination to ensure the integration and inclusion of minorities, be they
different from the majority population along ethnic, religious, gender, disability or identity lines,

by granting all citizens equal access to education, employment and necessary services, to
allow all to contribute to society and have a meaningful role in shaping the future,

Deeply concerned by the fact that a large part of the global population remains excluded by
their societies for many reasons, including cultural, racial and socioeconomic reasons,

Convinced that to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, it is very important to include

minorities and give them more rights and opportunities, in order to ensure that this major portion
of the population has a role in the collectivised movement towards sustainability,

Recognising with regret that military spending is still immense compared to social inclusivity
programs and environmental organisations in many countries, and that war is still a bigger focus
for many nations than supporting presently discriminated minorities or protecting the

environment,

Bearing in mind that international cooperation is carried out in part with the objective of

including minority groups: indeed, the United Nations, other international bodies, and nations
have taken action to help reduce exclusion,

Noting with satisfaction that in recent years, in order to achieve the goals set forth by the 2030

SDGs, the UN has insisted that there needs to be an increase in social inclusivity, and that the
main UN department that is responsible for helping achieve this is the Division for Inclusive Social
Development (UN DESA),
