Youth issues: Junior 8 Summit - young people have a fundamental right to participate in decisions that affect them directly.

If you had the opportunity to tell the worlds leaders what they should do to solve global problems, what would you say? Thats the question youth delegates to the Junior 8 Summit will wrestle with as they prepare to meet with presidents and prime ministers from the G8 industrialized nations in Italy next month.

One issue isnt up for debate: All of the delegates agree that children and young people have a fundamental right to participate in decisions that affect them directly. In fact, thats the whole idea behind the J8.
