Well, we are off again.
In March 2009, five young people with experience of youth justice systems went to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva to lobby decision makers. They were able to influence an important UN Resolution on youth justice which made urgent recommendations to all governments around the world. You can read all about their story in this blog below or watch this great video
In 2010 another group of young people are returning to the UN to report back on how well their governments are doing on meeting this resolution. They have campaigned on the resolution in their own countries and have produced research. This research will help them to persuade government representatives that more needs to be done to make youth justice a reality for young people everywhere.
