These are the principles:
* Prioritise young people’s participation and promote
the reality that the majority of young people
worldwide do not participate in violence.
* Respect the experiences of all young people and
develop targeted strategies to include young
people from different backgrounds.
* Avoid stereotypical assumptions about gender
norms and the roles that girls, boys, young men,
young women, and young transgender individuals
can play in peace-building.
* Enable young people’s ownership, leadership, and
accountability in a peace-building process or project.
* Create a safe environment for participation and be
sensitive to inequalities.
* Involve young people in all stages of programming
or policy creation.
* Enhance the knowledge, skills, competencies, and
attitudes of youth.
* Create or increase opportunities for intergenerational or inter-group dialogue so young
people may bridge divides in their communities.
* Support policies that address the full needs of
young people.
