DESCRIPTION

Youth Ambassadors for the Right to Peace,Towards the enforcement of the right to peace is an award-winning global advocacy programme aimed at strengthening the legal framework on the human right to peace and crimes against peace. The programme created the Global Coalition of Youth Ambassadors for the Right to Peace, a global network of young leaders who are campaigning for this noble cause in the global order. The global advocacy programme aims to initiate the work on domestic, regional and international instruments that would codify the human right to peace and crimes against peace. The programme wants to revive the work in the UN Human Rights Council and the General Assembly on the human right to peace and initiate the work in the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court on crimes against peace, bringing the perspective of young leaders into the discussion.
