ACADEMICIAN AKMAL SAIDOV ON VICTORY PARK IN THE CAPITAL OF UZBEKISTAN
Throughout the 76 years since the Second World War people who have seen the atrocities of the same war and stood up against death and danger of fascism with bravery and resoluteness want to pass on to following generation one simple but wise message. This message showered in prayers sounds like this: “Everything can be endured, just so that there is no war! We have seen the war, and we ask God that you do not see it”.
You can still hear them say, “Even though you have a sword hanging over your head, tell the truth. Never separate, for the stray from the herd is eaten by the wolf. When you're together, no one can beat you. Strength is in unity. Why did we win the war? Because all the nations were united, sharing among themselves the food that was so scarce. And today we need to protect this peaceful life as the apple of our eye. Never be afraid of difficulties, boldly overcome them. That’s when you will benefit others, start to respect yourself. And this is the most important thing”.
YOUTH POLICY OF UZBEKISTAN IN GLOBAL STAGE
Out of almost 8 billion people living on planet Earth, more than quarter are young which is at nearly 2 billion hitting the highest number of youth in the history. It is worth noting that close to 90% of all youth live in the developing world.
Youth are undepleteable source of innovation, novatorship, ideas, and solutions. As such, we should include the young people in decision making process more than ever, so they can become the engine for change who will have an opportunity and responsibility to discover their own potential and create a world suitable for future generations.
The international community recognizes that the crucial role in the progress of any society is played by a healthy and harmoniously developed young generation, an energetic, proactive, well-rounded youth with modern knowledge and skills, on which the future of this society depends. In particular, UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasizes that “peace, economic dynamism, social justice, tolerance – all this and more, today and tomorrow, depends on tapping into the power of youth”.
During the last decade, more than 10 international acts in this area have been adopted within the UN alone. The World Programme of Action for Youth, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1995, provided the policy framework and practical recommendations for national action and international support to improve the situation of young people around the world. The Programme of Action covers fifteen priority areas of action related to youth and contains proposals for action in each of these areas.
