Policy Manual on Law, Policy and Sustainable Development: Research Outcome of First Edition of Nelson Mandela International Summer School on Law, Poli

The policy manual aims at establishing a linkage through various research papers to the need for international cooperation in making policies for sustainable development goals. The papers presented in this symposium have a common objective of establishing broader networking among youth leaders and emancipators across the globe and bringing their ideas cumulatively to the table in a productive manner.

There lies an intuition among the authors of this policy manual and a vision that they truly believe in. They have identified the minuscule issues starting from the grassroots level of policy formulation aiming to reduce existing social disparities and have extensively spoken about community-level and global measures that can be adopted to tackle such problems and have given valuable suggestions as to how they think the problems at hand should be addressed. This manual consists of transnational issues of policy formulation and implementation of existing policies with greater effectiveness and provides statistical reasoning as to the ineffectiveness of the same.

Such a policy manual further aims to lay down comprehensive future plans and strategies that might empower the youth in order to make a significant transition in the world's socio-political stage. The agenda to bring heads from all across the planet to discuss and take into consideration of their views in regard to policy formulation and sustainable development of the planet is a great outcome of such a project itself.

This policy manual has briefly touched upon every aspect of human dignity and sustainable development in its entirety, starting from poverty upgradation to implementation of better educational facilities, even so as including the need for Artificial Intelligence in the policy framing domain, having talked about the reproductive health of children and women and their rights, the importance of entrepreneurship at grassroots community level, etc.

Finally, this manual lays down a clear-cut outline that the authors collectively envisage, towards bettering the global community and

complying with the SDGs, and the role of youth in collectively participating in policy formulation in their own individual capacity.
