Democracy Without Borders
Our mission is to promote global democracy.
We recognize that democracy is an interconnected system that depends on the integrity of all its parts. To succeed, it must thrive at all levels. In particular, global democracy cannot thrive without national democracy, and vice versa.
According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the will of the people expressed through democratic elections and other means is the foundation of legitimate government authority.
We regard the world’s people as a political community entitled to global democracy. In today’s interconnected world, where action and inaction on global issues affects everyone, the right to democracy must be realized as a global right in all its dimensions: representation, participation, rights and liberties, and the rule of law.
