About International Day of Democracy
International Day of Democracy was established in 2007 by the United Nations General Assembly . The day is dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the first international conference of new and restored democracies held in 2008.
Democracy is as much a process as a goal, and only with the full participation of and support by the international community, national governing bodies, civil society and individuals, can the ideal of democracy be made into a reality to be enjoyed by everyone, everywhere.
