Read the Summary of Recommendations for the Tenth NPT RevCon here.
On Tuesday 2nd August, BASIC, the Republic of Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs invited Youth participants to form four working groups at a jointly organised side event. These groups were tasked with articulating and prioritising action items for NPT stakeholders across its three pillars and the topic of equity, diversity and inclusion.
The working groups utilised this 90-minute ‘sprint session’ to formulate discrete, implementable and innovative recommendations for NPT States Parties to make progress within each of these four areas. Following the Sprint Session, the four youth Chairs collaborated with the BASIC team to draft a brief summary statement of the recommendations and insights developed by each working group, as well as a more extended working paper.
On Thursday 11th August, the Chairs from the Youth Working Group Sprint Session shared the Youth Working Paper and their group’s insights, perspectives and recommendations with an esteemed panel of four senior leaders. You can find the recording of the event here.
