About the International Day of Parliamentarism
Legal , Civil Rights
Ends: Jun 30, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
In an era of growing uncertainty, public engagement in parliamentary work is essential for meeting people's expectations and aspirations. It fosters public trust in governance and counteracts the rise of authoritarianism. The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) highlighted the importance of public engagement on the International Day of Parliamentarism, observed annually on June 30, marking the IPU's founding in 1889.
Strong parliaments are key to democracy, serving as the people's voice, passing laws, allocating funds, and holding governments accountable. They also link international and national agendas, helping to implement international treaties and agreements. The IPU works with parliaments to strengthen their capacity to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In post-conflict countries, robust parliaments can facilitate a peaceful transition to democracy.
The United Nations encourages the involvement of parliamentarians and parliamentary organizations in its work. The IPU, as the global organization of parliaments, promotes transparency, accountability, and participation at the global level, interacting with the UN on a wide range of issues. Parliaments were actively involved in the post-2015 development framework negotiations, advocating for goals related to democratic governance.
To track parliamentary progress, the IPU and partners have introduced indicators based on Sustainable Development Goals Targets 16.6 and 16.7. This self-assessment tool allows parliaments to measure their democratic structure, operations, and activities against set criteria, fostering more resilient, effective, and independent institutions.
