world both a collective voice and a mechanism to support global sustainable development. In 2007, the IYC was founded at
the 4th Annual Youth Assembly at the United Nations (YA@UN). The then alumni of the Youth Assembly formed the
International Youth Council to sustain efforts and communication between nations. IYC is present in 28 nations worldwide and is
a staunch supporter of human rights and equality. In 2012, IYC expanded in South East Asia, establishing the first ASEAN
chapter, in the Philippines.
