Aims of UN Youth
UN Youth Australia seeks to promote the ideals and the work of the United Nations. While these aims are similar to that of conventional United Nations Associations in advocating the United Nations Charter and educating young people about the structure and functions of the United Nations, UN Youth is also committed to the task of advocating the role of young people in domestic affairs, and of young people playing an active part in the democratic process.
