International IDEA at the United Nations

Michele Bachelet at UN Gender Roundtable
Democracy and Gender Equality Roundtable, 4 May 2011

Building democracy is a goal closely related to the three pillars of the United Nations – development, peace and security, and human rights. As a Permanent Observer to the United Nations, International IDEA supports the UN’s objectives by:

  • Contributing to UN policy debates and agendas on democracy;
  • Partnering with the UN to develop internationally accepted codes of conduct, principles and best-practice guidance in the fields of democracy assistance; and
  • Helping the UN implement democracy-assistance initiatives around the world.
