Kumasi: Twenty-eight new officers have been sworn into the International Youth Network for United Nations Security Council Resolution (IYNUNSCR) 2250 Chaplaincy and Missions. These officers, hailing from various regions across Ghana, consist of seven females and 21 males, all committed to upholding the Network's constitution and fostering peace and stability in their communities.
According to Ghana News Agency, Rev Dr Lilian Sally Addo, the Global President of the IYNUNSCR 2250, emphasized the significance of youth involvement in peacebuilding, as recognized by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). She addressed the gathering during the Swearing-in of New Officers and Unveiling of the IYNUNSCR 2250 Chaplaincy/Missions in Ghana ceremony held in Kumasi. Dr Addo highlighted that in 2015, the UNSC adopted a global policy framework designed to establish guidelines for developing peace-fostering policies and programs. This framework examines the impact of conflicts on young people, identifies strategies to mitigate these effects, and advocates for the meaningful inclusion of youth in creating peaceful communities.
The IYNUNSCR 2250 initiative is committed to recruiting and training young individuals to serve as advocates for peace and security worldwide. Bishop Ambassador David Yaw Yeboah, newly elevated from African Director to Global Director of the IYNUNSCR 2250 Chaplaincy/Missions, remarked on the network's dedication to a life of discipline, dedication, and volunteerism. He urged the new officers to adhere to the five pillars of the UNSC: participation, protection, prevention, partnership, and disengagement and disintegration, all crucial in promoting peace and security.
