"During an event [...] at ICAAP, a number of young participants announced a joint commitment named the Bali Youth Force. This integrated alliance of local and international youth organizations from across the Asia-Pacific region came together to advocate for the rights of young people.
The alliance issued a number of recommendations derived from a month-long online survey of more than 50 people from across the Asia Pacific, along with the experiences and input of around 130 youth delegates who attended a two-day conference held prior to ICAAP.
The first recommendation called for young people to push for meaningful participation in policies that affect their lives and programs about youth issues."
