International IDEA’s role in the Pact for the Future and Global Digital Compact

This advocacy involved developing knowledge and analysis; reviewing successive drafts of the Pact, its Global Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations; and making statements at the UN to highlight the critical role of democracy and human rights in global frameworks. 

These efforts culminated in a significant milestone when International IDEA’s Secretary-General underscored the importance of these principles during the Summit of the Future in September 2024 in statements at the UN General Assembly to all UN member states. 

International IDEA’s work demonstrates the critical need for continued advocacy to embed democracy and human rights in global governance frameworks.
