CCD is different from the many NGOs
that promote democracy. We believe that an environment
of cooperation among nations offers the best hope for
resolving the critical problems of our age and that
an organization of democracies acting in concert is
a vital step in that direction. What distinguishes us
is that CCD is the only nongovernmental organization
in the world with an exclusive focus on the Community
of Democracies. We believe that an effective way to
consolidate the gains of democratic expansion is by
strengthening that Community. We view this effort, which
includes the creation of a Democracy Caucus in the UN,
as a means toward our long-range goal -- consolidating
democracy globally by constructing an enduring framework
enabling democracies to act in concert on the issues
of concern to mankind.

momentous new movement, the Community of Democracies
was launched in Warsaw, Poland, in June of 2000. For
the first time, a global gathering of 106 governments
committed to democracy came together to develop and
pursue a common agenda. This community of states –
drawn from a diverse mix of regions, cultures, and religions
– dedicated itself to a core set of democratic
principles and to support cooperation among democracies
worldwide. The Council for a Community of Democracies,
a non-governmental organization incorporated in Washington
D.C., was formed to support this global movement. Read More about the Community of Democracies. |
