Explanation

The International Day of Democracy is observed annually on 15 September [1]. This observance was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007 through resolution A/RES/62/7. The date was specifically chosen to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Inter-Parliamentary Union's (IPU) 1997 Universal Declaration on Democracy, which outlined the core principles and values of democratic governance. The first official global observance took place in 2008 [2]. The day serves as a global reminder to review the state of democracy worldwide, promote civic participation, and encourage governments to strengthen democratic institutions and accountability. It highlights democracy as a core value of the United Nations, essential for the protection of human rights and the rule of law [1].
