The International Day of Democracy
In 2007, the UN General Assembly decided to celebrate the International Day of Democracy (IDD) on 15 September each year in order to promote and defend the principles of democracy.
Since 2011, democratic progress in Tunisia has been undeniable. Liberty spaces multiplied, Tunisia adopted a new constitution in January 2014 followed by the democratic legislative and presidential elections, and the National Dialogue Quartet won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2015.
In 2016, 2017 and 2018, Tunisia celebrated the International Day of Democracy IDD following the initiative IFES with various local and international partners in order to:
● Promote a positive discourse by focusing attention on democratic progress rather than difficulties and challenges;
● Raise awareness about the fact that strengthening democracy needs all components of the society;
● Encourage citizen participation through the implementation of actions related to the International Day of Democracy IDD.
