SHAPING OUR FUTURE TOGETHER
We commemorate the 75th anniversary of the creation of the United Nations. An online dialogue with youth on the importance of multilateralism in addressing SDG16.

Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs Stef Blok discusses peace, law and moral authority at #UN75, as well as the salience of young people's participation at the @UN.

"Young people must be able to participate at the UN. [...] Not only because today’s problems are your problems but also because you can solve those problems. Join the conversation. Not just today, but also tomorrow. Make your voice heard."

The event is organised by the International Court of Justice, the Hague project Peace and Justice, UNRIC Benelux, Chair of UN Studies, United Nations University – MERIT and RNW Media.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
His parents inspired him to serve the community at a young age. “My mother witnessed the bombing of Nijmegen; my father was interned in a Japanese camp as a child and lost his father there. Their stories demonstrate how conflict can affect ordinary people. Preventing conflict is one of our most important political tasks.” Blok developed into a leading advocate for diplomatic and peaceful conflict resolution, and he always strives for tangible results. “As a diplomat, it is important to show others what your work leads to in concrete terms, so you can build bridges with the wider public.”

Stef Blok (1964) started his career at ABN AMRO, becoming a municipal councillor and chairman of the local branch of the VVD political party in Nieuwkoop at the age of 30, and going on to become a member of the Dutch House of Representatives in 1998. Since 2012, he has held a range of Cabinet posts, and has served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Rutte III Cabinet since 2018.
