The International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY), founded in 1907, is the biggest political youth organization in the world representing about 140 member organizations from more than 100 countries. IUSY is the Youth of the Socialist International (SI). It brings together the socialist, social democratic and labour political youth organizations from around the world in order to fight for freedom and human rights, social justice and democracy, peaceful solutions to political problems, and ending all forms of discrimination,. IUSY works by developing and strengthening its member organizations in different countries, supporting new organizations, publishing bulletins, and organizing international youth gatherings each year. The IUSY as a political party youth organization cooperates with all worker’s movements and progressive organizations in the world. IUSY also cooperates with many international institutions in order to develop policy but also to gain support for projects and activities. IUSY is an international youth NGO with UN ECOSOC consultative status since 1993.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://csonet.org/content/documents/E2011INF4.pdf )〕 ==About IUSY== IUSY’s main field of activity is in the promotion of democracy, human rights, and youth policy. IUSY works by engaging international institutions, such as the Council of Europe, United Nations, Socialist International, European Youth Forum, and others, and directly targeting policy makers and media representatives at an international level to advocate for equal opportunities and the right to social and political participation for youth all over the world. Furthermore, IUSY trains activists at the grassroots level in the international political debate and policy development by organizing conferences and supporting political campaigns and initiatives on a regional and global level. IUSY works to strengthen its member organizations by providing a broad network of support and facilitating educational workshops and training seminars, aimed at increasing their capacity to fight for political change in their respective countries. The IUSY Congress is the highest decision-making body with the organization. It elects the President, the Secretary General, the Presidium and the Control Commission. The IUSY Congress and IUSY Council take place every second year on an alternating basis. The IUSY coordinates its activities on two levels – regional and global. The regional coordination involves discussion of issues of common concern within the region and development of internal and public activities for the promotion of our solutions and policy proposals. Naturally, the structure and international character of IUSY allows the organization to treat many of the issues in an inter-regional manner, through cooperation and coordination between different regions in order to realize joint activities. The global Presidium is composed of the President, the Secretary General and 18 Vice-Presidents, who meet regularly to discuss and develop policy. The IUSY has five regional committees – American, African, Asian-Pacific, European, and Mediterranean – that meet annually. Also, IUSY has two permanent working groups – Feminism and LGBT – that deal with issues involving those specific themes. The IUSY Secretariat, led by the Secretary General, organizes all activities and is responsible for finances, communication, and the daily work of the organization. IUSY’s working languages are English, French and Spanish. The IUSY World Festival brings together thousands of activists and is organized approximately every two or three years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Union of Socialist Youth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
