2022 Annual Report of the Community of Democracies
‘This was a year of momentum at the Community of Democracies, including the transfer of the CoD Presidency from Romania (2019 to 2022) to Canada. The CoD made strides through multilateral engagement on the margins of global democracy-related gatherings, youth and civil society activities, thematic events to examine rule of law and human rights issues, and new publications on matters ranging from youth participation in politics to the use of new technologies in democratic elections to the difficult situation of women and girls in Afghanistan’ – Secretary General Thomas E. Garrett in his foreword to the CoD 2022 Annual Report.
