Terrorism is the greatest challenge to world peace — Crown Prince
AMMAN — HRH Crown Prince Hussein on Thursday said that terrorism is a disease that no country is immune from, calling on the world community to address challenges facing youths, who are the “prime victims” of extremism.
He made his remarks at the UN Security Council’s meeting on “maintenance of international peace and security: The role of youth in countering violent extremism and promoting peace”.
He said that while youths are most susceptible to the present situation and its consequences, they can also have the strongest impact on the present and the future.
“This has been evident in the recent events in my region. As a young man, who is part of this generation, I take part in debates about the challenges facing my generation and the need to empower youth,” he told his audience.
The Prince stressed that young people are not a marginalised, but rather a targeted group.
