| First Ministerial
Conference of the Community of Democracies
Warsaw, Poland, 26–27 June 2000
In June 2000 more than one hundred governments
committed to the democratic path gathered in Warsaw, Poland
for the first Community of Democracies ministerial. The CD
conference demonstrated the universality of the democratic
ideal. Countries representing every region, religious and
cultural tradition, and level of development, endorsed the
Warsaw Declaration. The document
lays out a comprehensive set of democratic principles and
practices that member governments committed themselves to
uphold.
A parallel, non-governmental conference organized
by Freedom
House and the Stefan
Batory Foundation brought together leading democracy thinkers
and practitioners from civil society from around the world.
The
World Forum on Democracy was held in Warsaw simultaneous
to the ministerial meeting in order to permit both formal
and informal interaction between participants at the two gatherings.
