history

On August 24, 1907, the International Association of Socialist Youth Organizations was founded in Stuttgart as part of the International Socialist Congress . The South German Association of Young Workers in Germany had invited . 20 delegates from 10 European countries and one Australian took part in the congress. Karl Liebknecht was elected first chairman and Hendrik de Man (Belgium) became first secretary. The seat of the rather loose association became Vienna .

The split in the labor movement in the course of the First World War did not stop at the youth organizations. In 1919 the International of the Communist Youth was founded in Berlin , in 1921 the International Working Group of Socialist Youth Organization in Vienna and also in 1921 the social democratic International of the Working Youth in Amsterdam . The latter two united in 1923 in Hamburg to form the International of the Socialist Youth , based in Berlin. Piet Voogt (Netherlands) and Leopold Thaller (Austria) were elected chairmen, Erich Ollenhauer secretary of the organization - a position he held until the Second World War .

After the end of the war, on September 30, 1946, delegates from 22 youth organizations met in Paris to found the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY) . Bob Molenaar (Netherlands) was elected Chair and Per Haekkerup (Denmark) General Secretary. Initially Copenhagen was the seat of IUSY, in 1954 it was moved to Vienna .

By standing up against colonialism and working with liberation movements from Asia, Africa and Latin America, IUSY managed to develop from an initially almost exclusively European organization into a real world organization. In 1954 the Indian Nath Pai was the first non-European to be elected chairman of the IUSY.

In 1968 it became known that the IUSY for propaganda against communism since the 1950s was funded by the CIA. This sparked a wave of discussion and resignations within the Union.

In 1993 the association received the special consultative status in the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations .

International youth meetings

The major international youth meetings, at which up to 50,000 young people met (1929 in Vienna), were already the focus of activities in the previous organizations of the IUSY. In 1952, this tradition was resumed with the IUSY Camp in Vienna, which - with an interruption in the 1970s - is continued as the International Socialist Youth Meeting or IUSY World Festival and reaches several thousand young people each time.

The IUSY World Festival 2011 at the Attersee was marked by the memory of the comrades murdered in the attack on the summer camp of the Norwegian member organization AUF .
