CYP Now - The United Nations

If I were in charge of the United Nations (UN), I would ensure that young people had a voice because children are the future and we are the next generation. It is only right that we sit with the change-makers and movers and shakers of the world.

I believe that we hold the key to the success of the global future. If I were in charge, I would fight till the last breath, not necessarily physically, but with UN peacekeepers for example. I'd make sure they work with volatile nations, even if the going gets tough.

Also, I would make more chances for younger people to volunteer for the UN and be involved with summits. As a leader I would ensure that democracy prevails wherever possible. I know with some countries you cannot force them to think democratically, but if I was in charge I would support everyone and not try to force feed them with ideas they do not want to take in.
