The Youth Pledge is the only major milestone in the history of the Indonesian independence movement. This pledge is considered as a crystallization of the spirit to affirm the ideals of the founding of the Indonesian state.

What is meant by "Youth Pledge" is the decision of the Second Youth Congress to be held for two days, 27-28 October 1928 in Batavia (now called Jakarta). This decree stated the ideals of an "Indonesian homeland", "the Indonesian nation", and "the Indonesian language". It is also hoped that this decision will become the basis for every "Indonesian national association" and that it should be "broadcast in various newspapers and read before meetings of associations".

The term "Youth Pledge" itself did not appear in the decision of the congress, but was given after it. The following is the sound of the three decisions of the congress as stated on the inscription on the wall of the Youth Pledge Museum. The original manuscript was immortalized using Van Ophuijsen's spelling.
