The United Nations Association Youth Platform of the United Kingdom is the youth constituency of UNA-UK, bringing together 35 youth UNAs and Model UN societies from across the UK, representing a combined total of more than 5000 young people passionate about the United Nations. The UNA-YP UK has three core objectives: 1. Firstly, to provide a national landscape for the discussion of real international youth issues, pertaining both to the UK, and to the wider world, hosting national events and campaigns to spread awareness and provide young people a voice on the global stage; 2. Secondly, to campaign to establish the UK's official UN Youth Delegate Programme, and once established, to take an active role in the selection process for a young person to join the Foreign & Commonwealth Office Delegation to the UN General Assembly; 3. Thirdly, to provide a national body to discuss best practices, issues and developments pertaining to the UK Model UN circuit of conferences, and provide support by whatever means possible to local youth MUN and UN-related societies, associations and groups to aid their expansion and development. The UNA-YP therefore commits itself to building national and international support for, and understanding of, global youth issues addressed through the United Nations and its agencies. It also undertakes to support UNA-UK by partaking in the Association’s national campaigns; educating and promoting greater understanding of the role, functions and potential of the United Nations, its agencies and its Charter, with special attention to the Sustainable Development Goals; furthering the ideals, principles and objectives of the United Nations and empowering youth to become involved in its realisation, reform and development.
