According to Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes the freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”
The International Day for Democracy is celebrated globally on the 15th of September every year. First established through a UN General Assembly Resolution in 2007 that encouraged states and governments across the globe to work towards strengthening democracy. This day is celebrated in order to learn, understand and disseminate what the idea of Democracy really is. Democracy is an aspect that can be fully realized only when one is aware of their rights as a citizen subscribing to the idea of freedom, rights and participation in a cosmopolitan community.
