At a time of accelerating global crises and transformation, the question is no longer whether young people should be at the table, but how power is being shared with them. With more than 2.6 billion people aged 15–35 worldwide, this generation is not only the largest in history, but a decisive force in shaping a more sustainable and inclusive future, according to the United Nations
 
Youth participation must move beyond visibility toward real influence and shared responsibility-UN Secretary-General António Guterres
 
Dr. Felipe Paullier of Uruguay assumed his mandate as the first-ever Assistant Secretary-General for Youth Affairs in December 2023 at the age of 32. He is the youngest senior appointment in the history of the United Nations, and the youngest serving member of the Secretary-General’s senior management group.

By Bisma Qamar
UNITED NATIONS, May 28 2026 (IPS)

In this exclusive interview, Dr. Felipe Paullier, UN Assistant Secretary-General (ASG) and Head of the United Nations Youth Office shares his leadership approach, insights on youth engagement, and his vision for driving institutional change from the grassroot level — redefining what is possible and proving that age is just a number.

Bisma Qamar: As the youngest and first ASG of the United Nations Youth Office, what drives and shapes your leadership style?

Dr. Paullier: I focus on perspective. Young leaders naturally bring fresh ideas and question why processes exist, fostering creativity and improvement. My approach is human-centered. Issues like mental health and wellbeing indicate societal shifts and must be taken into consideration. Leadership should be accessible and empathetic while understanding one’s potential and well-being. Today’s teams value approachable, realistic leaders rather than authoritative leaders.

“Leadership must blend insight with empathy; people want leaders who understand and support individuals”

From Potential to Performance :

Qamar: As member states become informed and establish programs like the youth delegate program, which strategic aspects are key to truly empowering young voices and ensuring meaningful participation beyond symbolism?

Dr. Paullier: The main challenge is converting narratives into actionable participation. Institutions need inclusivity, structured funding, and support mechanisms. Multilateral collaboration is essential, and power must be genuinely shared with youth. Meaningful participation involves more than representation—it requires influence over decision-making.

UN Youth Forums: Advancing Inclusion and Participation

Qamar: How do forums such as ECOSOC and HLPF contribute to advancing inclusion and promoting equitable opportunities?

Dr. Paullier: ECOSOC and similar platforms provide a structured environment where youth voices can be heard and actively contribute to institutional change. They allow spaces to be created where meaningful dialogue across generations and individuals from diverse backgrounds are possible. These forums emphasize translating strategic narratives into tangible actions at both institutional and grassroots levels, encouraging participants to understand their potential impact as well as the limitations of the processes involved and the power of collaboration to create impact.

Insights from Youth Participation at ECOSOC 2026 :

Qamar: Reflecting on 2026, what are your insights on the impact and engagement such as the ECOSOC for instance?

Dr. Paullier: Geopolitical tensions made participation more difficult for some regions. Nonetheless, enthusiasm remained high. This demonstrates the resilience and determination of young participants who continue to assert their presence and contribute meaningfully, even amid complex global situations.

“Despite such challenges which may occur, youth engagement continues to be a powerful message of hope and influence.”

Conclusion

This conversation highlights the transformative power of human-centered leadership, grounded in trust, collaboration, and vision. Dr. Paullier embodies a model where young leaders not only challenge norms and drive innovation but also inspire inclusion and collective action. His message is clear and compelling: meaningful change is achievable because leaders who step forward, embrace responsibility, and demonstrate possibility.

Through platforms like the United Nations Youth Office, these principles translate into tangible impact, proving that when vision is coupled with courage and collaboration, nothing is impossible — change happens because leaders like him are present to make it so.

As he states “It’s possible, because I am here”

A Liga teljes mértékben ellenzi Ukrajna csatlakozását az Európai Unióhoz – hangoztatta a Matteo Salvini miniszterelnök-helyettes vezette olasz jobboldali párt szerdán, miközben Antonio Tajani külügyminiszter támogatja Ukrajna uniós csatlakozási folyamatának elindítását, de a balkáni országok csatlakozását nevezte elsőrendűnek.

Az olasz kormánypártok azt követően nyilatkoztak, hogy Ursula von der Leyen uniós bizottsági elnök közösségi oldalán bejelentette, Volodimir Zelenszkij ukrán elnökkel Ukrajna uniós csatlakozásáról is beszéltek telefonon, és a „következő hetek döntőek lesznek a csatlakozási folyamatban való előrelépésben”.

A Liga közleményben hangoztatta, hogy Ukrajna a csatlakozáshoz szükséges semmilyen követelménynek nem tesz eleget.

Utóbbiakkal kapcsolatban a párt megjegyezte, hogy azokat más országok évekig tartó munkával teljesítették. Kijev az EU-ban hatalmas méretű gazdasági és társadalmi kárt okozna – írta a Matteo Salvini vezette Liga, az olasz kormánykoalíció tagja.

A kérdésben Antonio Tajani külügyminiszter, a szintén kormányerő Hajrá Olaszország (FI) vezetője is véleményt mondott.

Az olasz kormány és pártja álláspontját ismertetve Tajani kijelentette, hogy támogatja annak az folyamatnak az elindítását, amely Ukrajnát az európai uniós tagság felé vezeti.

Ugyanakkor kiemelte, nem szabad elfeledkezni a többi jelölt országról sem. Mint fogalmazott, számukra a Balkán számít prioritásnak. „Ukrajnának és Moldovának el kell indítani a csatlakozási folyamatot, és le kell küzdenie a korrupciót, valamint tiszteletben tartani a szabályokat ahhoz, hogy tagjai legyenek az Európai Uniónak. Mi készen állunk segíteni őket” – jelentette ki Antonio Tajani.
