Op 9 en 10 december komen leiders van over de hele wereld samen met maatschappelijke organisaties en deelnemers uit de private sector voor een wereldwijde Top voor democratie<\/a>, een initiatief van de Amerikaanse president Joe Biden om de steun voor democratie wereldwijd te vernieuwen en nieuw leven in te blazen.<\/p>\n

Het kon niet op een kritieker moment komen. De komst van COVID-19, de toenemende druk van klimaatverandering en een vertrouwensbreuk tussen regeringen en hun burgers zouden elk land moeten dwingen om hun eigen democratie\u00ebn opnieuw onder de loep te nemen en hun verplichtingen te verdubbelen.<\/p>\n

De moedeloosheid voorbij<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Als we vandaag de dag naar het democratische landschap kijken, is het gemakkelijk om moedeloos te worden. Of het nu de terugkeer van de Taliban in Afghanistan<\/a>De geleidelijke erosie van een onafhankelijke rechterlijke macht in sommige Oost-Europese landen of de bedreiging van de vrijheid van meningsuiting in Midden-Amerika, er is weinig goed nieuws.<\/p>\n

Het jaarverslag van de Internationaal instituut voor democratie en verkiezingsondersteuning<\/a> ontdekte dat voor het vijfde opeenvolgende jaar meer landen evolueerden in de richting van een autoritair bestuur.<\/p>\n

Maar met moedeloosheid bereiken we niets. We moeten een positieve weg naar een betere toekomst inslaan en de leiders moeten deze top aangrijpen om met concrete oplossingen en meetbare toezeggingen te komen om de democratie wereldwijd te beschermen en te bevorderen.<\/p>\n

Bij NIMD hebben we de eer om onze naam te verbinden aan een verklaring namens 14 wereldwijde pro-democratische organisaties<\/a> met vijf specifieke aanbevelingen die aangeven hoe staten wereldwijd leiderschap en solidariteit kunnen tonen bij het ondersteunen van democratie.<\/p>\n

Inzetten op echte oplossingen<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Omdat er oplossingen bestaan en we dringen er bij de wereldleiders op aan om te luisteren naar de maatschappelijke organisaties die in het veld werken, zowel in gevestigde en jonge democratie\u00ebn als in organisaties die worstelen onder autoritair bewind.<\/p>\n

We moeten ervoor zorgen dat we blijven investeren in de ontwikkeling van echte democratische actoren overal ter wereld. We moeten de pijlers van de samenleving en de overheid versterken die checks and balances implementeren. Dit betekent de onafhankelijke media en instellingen zoals parlementen, lokale gekozen organen, rekenkamers en rechtssystemen.<\/p>\n

We moeten jonge politici en aspirant-politici steunen, omdat zij de toekomstige leiders van de wereld zijn. In plaats van systemen van nepotisme en elitarisme die dezelfde gezichten aan de macht houden, moet de prioriteit liggen bij het ondersteunen van de politieke ambities van ondervertegenwoordigde groepen, zodat iedereen in het land zich vertegenwoordigd voelt door hun regering, wat de legitimiteit van het democratische systeem vergroot.<\/p>\n

Innoveren en verbinden<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Daarom geven we bij NIMD gerichte voorlichting over democratie aan vrouwen, mensen uit plattelandsgebieden, inheemse groepen, etnische minderheden en mensen uit de LGBTQI+-gemeenschap. Onze democratische school in een van de meest onstabiele regio's van Colombia<\/a>helpt bijvoorbeeld bij het opbouwen van de vaardigheden van jonge activisten, zodat zij op hun beurt die kennis kunnen doorgeven.<\/p>\n

We vinden ook innovatieve manieren om diverse groepen te ondersteunen bij hun politieke ambities. een platform om de campagnes van ondervertegenwoordigde groepen te versterken<\/a> bij de verkiezingen in Honduras.<\/p>\n

Want we moeten nu handelen om het vertrouwen van de mensen in de democratie te herstellen, en alleen door dialoog en consensus met respect voor de belangen van alle sectoren van de samenleving kunnen we de meest dringende problemen van vandaag aanpakken. Dus laten we dit moment aangrijpen, ons opnieuw committeren aan de waarden van inclusiviteit en democratie, en moedig en dapper zijn in het verdedigen en promoten van het enige systeem dat ons allen naar een betere toekomst kan leiden.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
