Second Assembly
Participants
More than 400 participants from over 80 countries in all regions of the world met at the Second Assembly of the World Movement for Democracy. Working in NGOs, trade unions, research institutes, political parties, civic education organizations, democracy support foundations, parliaments, and governments, they are all actively engaged in the promotion of democracy in their countries, regions, or even globally.
Many of them took great personal risks to attend the Assembly; several cannot even be listed here for that reason. Some activists could not attend at all because their governments did not permit them to leave their countries or because the risk of leaving was simply too great. Moreover, those several hundred who did attend are but a small fraction of the thousands of activists around the world who, by sheer numbers alone, could not be included in this one event; they are, however, as much participants in the World Movement for Democracy as those who attended. We wish to thank them all - both those who were able to attend and those who were not - for their continuing dedication and commitment.
The participants are listed according to region, country, and then alphabetically by last name. A database of participants in the World Movement for Democracy is now available on the World Movement Web site. To contact a participant, please search the Participants Database. Or, send a message to or fax +1 202 293-0755 and it will be forwarded to the participant.
