United Nations adopts September 15th as International Day of Democracy

On November 8th 2007 UN adopted 15th of September as International Day of Democracy. As we are working to establish a universal day for action and debate on democracy, we recommend supporting the International Day of Democracy, and taking action to influence the form and content of the Democracy Day.

Petition your government to realise the International Democracy Day in cooperation with civil society organizations. Here you can find an outline for a letter together with a fact sheet about Global Democracy initiative.
