It received the unanimous approval of all 47 member states of the UN Human Rights Council without exception, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan reports.
Following the resolution development, 37 states representing all regional groups existing in the UN system supported and joined it as co-sponsors.
Based on the text of the draft document prepared by the National Center of Uzbekistan for Human Rights, the Permanent Mission of Uzbekistan to the UN Office in Geneva held 2 rounds of informal consultations, in which over 400 representatives from about 70 countries, as well as staff of the UN Secretariat and others, took part.
The document calls on states to create equal opportunities for young people, to assist in ensuring their rights and freedoms in the context of reducing the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution also mandates a detailed study by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on ways to mitigate the impact of the global pandemic on youth rights, including identifying cases of discrimination against young people in the exercise of their human rights, including young women and girls.
