The Role of Civil Society in Implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2250

Abstract

Abstract

    The Security Council is considered the executive body of the United Nations and is the only body authorized to make decisions that member states are obligated to implement under the Charter. At the end of 2015, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2250, titled "Youth, Peace, and Security." This resolution emphasizes the importance of involving youth in development processes, decision-making, policymaking, programming, and in negotiations across various issues.

Due to the significance of UN Security Council Resolution 2250 and its impact on governments and non-governmental organizations, the resolution has prompted these entities to develop new strategies that define the necessary measures to empower youth, integrate them into society, and involve them in the political process. This resolution is considered an initiative by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, addressing youth issues from the perspective of international peace and security and recognizing the vital role of youth in peacebuilding efforts
