Time to Abolish War

Time to Abolish War: Youth Manual created by Youth for Youth

In this youth agenda, we will look at achieving this aim through peace campaigns—on issues including landmines, small arms, peace education, promoting children’s rights, stopping the use of child soldiers, abolishing nuclear weapons, and building an International Criminal Court. These are problems that affect the lives and futures of young people, and we can play a part in all these efforts to find solutions, alongside others working in the fields of human rights, the environment, humanitarian assistance, disarmament, and sustainable development.
