“Democracy is a
universal value based on the freely expressed will of people to determine their
own political, economic, social and cultural systems and their full
participation in all aspects of their lives.
While democracies share common features, there is no single model of
democracy. Activities carried out by the United Nations in support of efforts
of Governments to promote and consolidate democracy are undertaken in
accordance with the UN Charter, and only at the specific request of the Member
States concerned.
The UN General Assembly, in resolution A/62/7 (2007)
encouraged Governments to strengthen national programmes devoted to the
promotion and consolidation of democracy, and also decided that 15 September of
each year should be observed as the International Day of Democracy.”
