History

Revolutionary Youth Union was established in 1960-1970s as a youth organization of the ruling Baath Party.[5] The organization was dedicated to students aged twelve to eighteen, all members of the organization were required to have no political affiliation other than the Baath Party. All students in preparatory and secondary schools were to automatically become members of the youth organization.[6] The organization had a newsletter named al-Masirah (English: The March).[5]

On July 9, 2021, a draft resolution to disband Revolutionary Youth Union and Baath Vanguard, another Ba'athist youth organization, was sent on review. The current status of this draft resolution is unknown.[7]

Following the fall of the Assad regime, the Union was banned by the Syrian transitional government alongside its mother party.[8]
