On the 22nd and 23rd of November 2023, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) in partnership with members of the Network for the Promotion of Constitutionalism in Eastern Europe is organizing a roundtable discussion 'Democratic Resilience: Does Institutional Design Matter?' in Yerevan, Armenia.
Securing Ukraine’s capacity to conduct future post-war elections in a free, orderly, and transparent manner will be vital for the continued integrity of its democratic governance and for the success of its recovery and reconstruction. One key challenge lying ahead of Ukraine will be to ensure the voting rights and opportunities for its displaced citizens, many of whom will be casting their vote from outside of Ukraine.
This dialogue event brings together reform-makers from Ukraine’s Government and civil society to discuss where Ukraine’s strongest achievements lie in its post-Euromaidan democratic reforms, how they enhance the country’s standing to achieve its EU candidate status and what more remains to be done.
Democracy cannot be taken for granted. It has to be protected and supported constantly and by all means, at the domestic and international level, harnessing its capacity for self-correction and innovation.
Join our online roundtable that aims to contribute to a better understanding of the current and likely future effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on democracies in Armenia, Georgia and Moldova. In addition, the discussion will aim to distill recommendations on how national and international democracy assistance providers should revise their actions in response to this crisis.
On 4 October, International IDEA will co-organize an international roundtable in Kiev on “Parliamentary immunity and indemnity. Amendments to the Constitution”. The debate will focus on the restriction of parliamentary immunity for Ukrainian MPs. The main purpose of the discussion is to examine the positions of parliamentary factions about the immunity of MPs and to discuss whether to limit parliamentary immunity.
