: ''Not to be confused with International Year of Youth which has been held since 2010.'' The year 1985 was proclaimed by the United Nations as the International Youth Year, or IYY. It was held to focus attention on issues of concern to and relating to youth. The proclamation was signed on January 1, 1985 by United Nations Secretary General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar. ==Events== Throughout the year, activities took place all over the world. These activities were coordinated by the Youth Secretariat within the Centre for Social Development and Humanitarian Affairs, at the time based at the UN offices in Vienna, Austria. The Secretariat's director, Mohammad Sharif, was also the Executive Secretary for IYY.〔Final Report of the World Congress on Youth, p. 126. http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0006/000684/068409eb.pdf〕 The President of IYY was Nicu Ceauşescu, son of the then dictator of Romania Nicolae Ceauşescu While not organising any specific events itself, under the year's slogan of "Participation, Development, Peace", the IYY Secretariat helped facilitate numerous events helping to make IYY a success. On October 11, 1985 the Secretary General of the UN, Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, in his report to the General Assembly, summarised the principal activities for IYY.〔Report of the Secretary General on International Youth Year to the General Assembly" (UN/GA Document A/40/701, October 11, 1985)〕 The main UN event for IYY was the World Congress on Youth (''in Spanish'': Congreso Mundial Sobre La Juventud) organised by UNESCO and held in Barcelona, Spain July 8-15, 1985.〔http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0006/000684/068409eb.pdf〕 It issued the "Barcelona Declaration"〔http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0006/000665/066540sb.pdf〕 on youth.
