39e Referring to the question of youth, he said that in the interest of ensuring the adequate participation of youth and youth organizations in the implementation of the Specific Programme of Measures and Activities for the preparation and observance of the International Youth Year, the efforts of national youth organizations to fulfil their role as channels of communication between the United Nations and youth should receive full support. His country had established a National Committee on Youth in 1981 representing youth organizations, certain ministries and other relevant bodies. One objective of the national plan adopted by the Committee was to ensure the responsible participation of youth in implementing national development objectives. The plan envisaged many activities relating to the International Youth Year, an exchange of information and experience with other national committees and broad contact with the organizations in the United Nations system. His delegation did not agree with these delegations that had questioned the advisability of long-term planning with regard to youth. 40. Lastly, his delegation reserved the right to raise the question of youth again during consideration of the report of the Economic and Social Council, when the Committee would have before it a resolution adopted by consensus by the Council concerning co-ordination and information in the field of youth. 41. Mr. ZAYAS (Cuba) said that since the adoption of General Assembly resolution 34/151, of which his delegation had been a sponsor, his country had encouraged the active participation of youth in activities relating to the International Youth Year. Cuba had also supported the Specific Programme of Measures and Activities for the Preparation and Observance of the Year because it was in favour of the active participation of non-governmental international organizations in the activities relating to the Year. Cuban youth and student organizations were making a constructive contribution in that regard. 
**Analysis**
The text discusses the participation of youth in international activities, specifically the International Youth Year, and the role of national youth organizations in implementing the Specific Programme of Measures and Activities. It also mentions the importance of long-term planning and coordination with the United Nations system. Given the focus on youth and international cooperation, I hypothesize that the most fitting category would be Education or Humanitarian aid and relief.
