We strongly believe that the realization of the commitments adopted in the United Nations World Programme of Action for Youth (WPAY), the Sustainable Development Goals, various treaties, conventions and protocols, and indeed, national constitutions and local legislations, will not be achieved without the meaningful engagement of adolescents and young people in accountability mechanisms. We commit through this statement, to promote and support youth-led accountability initiatives as a means of ensuring the meaningful adolescent and youth engagement required for a sustainable development that truly leaves no one behind.
