Youth and World Peace


Youth and World Peace

Peace is a word that expresses smiles on people’s faces, it means happiness and freedom. Peace means development and cooperation among countries of the world. Still, the peace in the world was disturbed by terrorism attacks and violent movements in the last decades. There are a lot of examples to mention like 9/11 terrorist attack on Twin Towers or the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that continues today too. Usually, these misunderstandings appear because there are opposite views of people or countries on different situations or topics.
            The youth has a lot of power in every country. They represent the engine of a country and what is the most important aspect- the future of it. Worldwide, young people act reasonably situations where a conflict should be solved and they try to do it without using any physical power. There are anti-bullying campaigns that have a lot of success in a lot of high schools worldwide. There are campaigns organized by youth to stop violence in families and they successfully implemented as well. I think that the area that should be “educated” in order to prevent international conflicts is the education in schools and family because that is where kids learn how to be better personality in the future.

Today, we do not have military conflicts in Moldova. We watch as spectators at the Ukrainian-Russian conflict and we learn from it a lot. Still, our government calls upon volunteers that would participate as peacekeepers and there are young people that participate because they think that a war is bad for either of countries and there should be a peaceful solution to this conflict. An international conflict where the youth from Moldova participated directly was: “The Conflict on the Dniester”. It started in March, 1992 when Moldova gained its independence in 1991 and they wanted Transnistria which is a small part in the east of Moldova that is controlled by Russian army but is a territory of Moldova. Moldovan army was weak then and they called for volunteers to get involved and to defend our nation. A lot of young people then participated and were a part of the Moldovan army. The conflict ended in July. The Russian army was stronger so that the status of Transnistria remained unchanged. It is still a part of Moldova but they have their own government and the Russian forces are there.

The young people of today have better perspectives and different mindsets. Modern technologies and a society without conflicts are making the youth to think positively and constructively rather than destructively. NGOs and international organizations are recruiting young minds to help maintaining peace in the world through collaboration and help to arrange exchange programs of foreign and domestic youths concerned with lasting solutions to the Youth problem.
            To prevent and to solve those international conflicts, developed countries have created international organizations, supranational organizations or nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). 
One of the oldest supranational organizations in existence today is the United Nations (UN). This organization was created following the cruelest international conflict that the world has ever seen- World War II. The main objectives are to ensure peace and collaboration among all of its member states. The military aid of the UN is the United Nations Peacekeepers. The interesting fact about the UN Peacekeepers is that it consists of volunteers so that there is youth that is enrolled and participates in peacekeeping operations around the world. This military force was used successfully to prevent invasion of South Korea by the North in the 1950s and it was able to end civil war in Kosovo in the 1990s.

Youth Federation for Word Peace is another organization that is dedicated to find solutions to the international problems that the youth are facing. This organization believes that each teacher, parent and government have to contribute to the education of youth worldwide. They organize global youth programs; they hold youth seminars and conferences both locally and internationally. This is an organization that acts for the prosperity and development of youth in every country.


Youth has to be a key to a peaceful life. It has been proven that the modern youth have the skills and the knowledge to make the world a better place and it is our mission to do so. The government has to pay more attention to the development of young people so that in the future we will have great experienced leaders to count on.
