1. Calls upon all States, all governmental and non-governmental organizations, interested United Nations bodies and the specialized agencies to continue to give priority to the formulation and implementation of effective measures for securing the exercise by youth of the right to life, to education and to work in conditions of peace, with a view to resolving the problem of unemployment among youth;

2. Requests all the appropriate United Nations bodies to give adequate attention on a regular basis to the enjoyment by youth of human rights, particularly the right to life, to education and to work;

3. Invites national co-ordinating bodies and bodies implementing policies and programmes in the field of youth to give appropriate priority in the activities to be undertaken after the International Youth Year:

Participation, Development, Peace to the enjoyment by youth of human rights, particularly the right to life, to education and to work;
