Championed by CoD YouthLeads, and presented at the Community of Democracies Youth Forum on July 23, 2020, the Youth Forum Statement calls on governments to adhere to democratic values and fundamental rights and highlights the importance of cooperation with youth in all spheres of public life and their inclusion in democratic decision-making processes.
CoD YouthLeads are a group of young activists and democracy leaders from different countries and regions, from Canada to Estonia through Nepal to Haiti, who are part of the Community’s #CoDYouthLeads social media campaign celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Warsaw Declaration.
