Children and youth deserve peace
On the occasion of the International Youth Day, youth organisations from across Europe deeply deplore the horrors of the full-fledged war taking place in their continent and call on Russian and Georgian leaders to resolve this crisis in a peaceful manner.
Children and youth are the most vulnerable groups in armed conflicts, not only by being caught in the crossfire but also by serving in the armed forces. “It is not the leaders in grey suits, but the children and young people instead, the ones who are suffering in the trenches, bomb-shelters and are lying wounded in the streets,“ explains Jaakko Weuro, Vice-President of the European Youth Forum.
The Russian and Georgian governments as well as the international community are responsible for putting an end to this crisis. "What young people and youth organisations can do is to be aware of what is happening, talk to their friends about it and create public pressure towards decision-makers in every European country to make sure that the suffering of Georgian and Russian children and young people is not forgotten and that every effort is made to end this crisis in full respect of democracy, human rights and the international law," adds Weuro.
Children and young people have the right to grow up in a peaceful world where humanity and mutual respect prevail. The mission of the European youth movement to provide young people with a space to work together becomes now more crucial than ever. Young people in Georgia and Russia, affected by these horrors, are not alone.
