The Community of Democracies
The genius of democracy is based on one idea:
every person counts.
- Madeleine Albright
The Community of Democracies was created in 2000 when 106 nations, meeting in Warsaw, committed to what would become the Warsaw Declaration. Signatary nations agreed to respect and uphold core democratic principles and practices including, among others, free and fair elections, freedom of speech and expression, equal access to education, rule of law, and freedom of peaceful assembly.
This Community has both a governmental component made up by government representatives, and a non-governmental component comprised of civil society organizations.
November 2007's Bamako meeting entrusted the Community of Democracies Chairmanship to Portugal, for a period of two years.
A unique opportunity to set an agenda for the democracies of Europe and the world!
