We discuss the peace and security of young people with Graeme Simpson, the Director of Interpeace USA. Graeme is the lead author of the Progress Study on Youth, Peace and Security (UN), an Adjunct Lecturer in Law at Columbia University School of Law in NYC, and he serves on the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Transnational Justice (IJTJ). Over the years, Graeme has worked tirelessly in both conflict and post-conflict zones to create peace-building programmes with and for young people. It was a great pleasure to speak with Graeme.
