Description
The project will equip and activate a network of more than 1,300 MPs worldwide to protect democracy and political inclusion, human rights, freedom of expression and association as well as the ability of civil society organizations to operate in a free, open, independent, and effective manner through collective and responsive calls to action by a community of parliamentarians, and increased ability of legislators to recognize and oppose initiatives which curtail civil and political rights.
Description (French)
Le projet équipera et mettra en exécution un réseau de plus de 1 300 députés partout au travers du monde pour protéger la démocratie et l'inclusion politique, les droits de l'homme, la liberté d'expression et d'association grâce à des appels à l'action collectifs et réactifs et à une capacité accrue des législateurs à reconnaître et à s'opposer aux initiatives qui réduisent les activités civiles et droits politiques.
Expected Results
This project will ensure that parliamentarians have the capacity, resources and the political will to execute legislative initiatives and other actions to protect democratic norms, institutions and civil and political space, as well as the fundamental rights of legislators. Concrete actions of parliamentarians to mobilize and utilize their representative, legislative, oversight and budgetary powers to counter incursions on civil and political democratic space will contribute to increased resilience to threats to democracy and human rights abuses.
Expected Results (French)
Ce projet fournira aux parlementaires la capacité, les ressources et la volonté politique d'exécuter des initiatives législatives et d'autres actions pour protéger les normes démocratiques, les institutions et l'espace civil et politique, ainsi que les droits fondamentaux des législateurs. Les actions concrètes des parlementaires pour mobiliser et utiliser leurs pouvoirs représentatifs, législatifs, et de contrôle budgétaires pour contrer les incursions dans l'espace démocratique civil et politique contribueront à accroître la résilience aux menaces contre la démocratie et aux violations des droits de la personne.
