Prince Al Hussein Bin Abdullah II led an open debate today on how youth can combat violent extremism and what he calls its "poisonous ideology."
In his remarks, the prince noted that over half the world's population is under 30 years old, with most living in developing countries. Jordan currently holds the council presidency.
For his part, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the prince is "not yet 21 years old, but he is already a leader in the 21st century."
