PARTICIPANTS

Nearly 600 participants came together at the World Movement’s Third Assembly to show their commitment to democracy promotion. These democracy activists, practitioners, and scholars from approximately 120 countries in every region of the world, including Belarus, Burma, China, Colombia, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Liberia, Mongolia, Serbia and Venezuela, gathered to discuss practical solutions to a wide range of challenges.

In the following pages, participants are listed according to region, country, and then alphabetically by last name. Those who attended are but a small fraction of the thousands of activists around the world who could not be included in this Assembly. However, they are as much participants in the World Movement as those who attended. Many of the participants took great personal risks to attend the Assembly and some cannot be listed here for that reason. We wish to thank both those who attended and those who were not able to attend for their support, dedication, and commitment. You can also find participant information in the World Movement’s searchable online Participant Database.
