  • Reduce public funding of weapons
  • Work at the root level of inequality, to counter misery
  • Revise current models of governance
  • Adopt a model of organised legality in opposition to criminality
  • Guarantee universal primary education

These are the five main points of the appeal made by the young people of the Focolare’s Youth for a United World (YUW) to national parliaments, the European Parliament, the National Commissions of UNESCO and the United Nations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om7WN06PMiU
