[02] International Union of Socialist Youth - Resolutions
Larnaca, Dec 3 (CNA) -- Representatives of socialist youth from 90
countries meeting here have said the international community's ability to
establish lasting peace and justice is put to the test in Cyprus, just like
in the Middle East, and have called for a settlement on the island based on
UN principles, decisions and resolutions.
A resolution on Cyprus adopted at the end of a three-day meeting of some
150 members of 125 youth organisations participating in the World Council
of the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY), considers the
accession of the Republic to the European Union will benefit all citizens
and welcomes the effort of the younger generation of Greek Cypriots and
Turkish Cypriots to communicate.
The meeting today adopted a number of other resolutions, including one put
forward by the Human Rights working group, recommending that IUSY takes
clear solidarity positions with suppressed people in conflict areas
suffering from violations of human rights, it supports the establishment of
international tribunals against criminals violating human rights and puts
an end to work and sexual exploitation of children.
