There was a need to ensure that the members of the IPU monitor and support the establishment of youth structures and that topics that affected youth globally were part of IPU discussions, for example, drug and alcohol abuse by young people and young people in conflict with the law. Furthermore, it was said that it was the youth who should take centre stage in policy formulation around the protection and promotion of human rights. Parliaments should pass legislation which would be beneficial to promoting the rights of the youth and lastly, youth ambassadors, nationally and internationally, should look at issues related to the youth.
