The Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon appointed the Palestinian-Syrian Salim Salama as the director of the Palestinian Association for Human Rights - Syria, within the consultative group of experts assigned to prepare a study on youth, peace and security. The study is a step after the UN resolution that was issued in 2015 in the Security Council 2250, which is the first of its kind and aims to enforce the participation of young people in these areas (peace and security).
Salama is the director of the Palestinian Association for Human Rights - Syria since March 2015, which began its work in the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus early in 2012. He commented on the new position saying, “as one of the young men who was chosen by the Syrians movement, it's a pleasure to be part of the high-level international dialogue of youth issues, “He also added that he believed in the need to tell the Syrian youth’s stories repeatedly. He continued that the young people who did what the world should do to save life in Syria. Salama added, "It's very tough days on Syria and Palestine, the international community has always disappointed us”.
