Yerevan will host Council of Europe Forum for the Future of Democracy
October 19-21, MFA reported.
The Yerevan Forum will address the principles of democratic governance
by analysing their application to, and their repercussions on,
contemporary political and societal changes in Council of Europe
member states, according to CoE official website. It will examine
the achievements and shortcomings in various policy fields and
the respective institutional frameworks, through the prism of the
principles of democratic governance.
The Forum previous five sessions were held in Warsaw, Moscow,
Stockholm, Madrid and Kyiv.
Whilst recognising the variety of political and institutional systems,
civil society and patterns of interactions and mutual reinforcements
between different groups and their governments to be found throughout
Europe, this analysis will be done with full respect for the common
principles of pluralist democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
Apart from the formal opening session, the first day will include
a high-level panel of experts, which will identify main trends in,
and threats to, democratic governance.
Forum is expected to provide, in a perspective beyond 2010, orientation
on how the Council of Europe could support the improvement of good
democratic governance in its member sates.
The Forum was established by the Third Summit of Heads of State and
Government of the Council of Europe (Warsaw, May 2005), to strengthen
democracy, political freedoms and citizens' participation.
