The Swedish Parliament organizes an online seminar to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the United Nations. This event will be held at the Swedish Parliament's headquarters and will be broadcast online through the institution's website TV.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an international public health crisis that continues to challenge our democracies in ways that are unprecedented.
The Fifth Edition of the Participation Festival will be three days of workshops, conferences and debates under the theme: 'Participation in the Risk Society'.
The coronavirus pandemic continues to have a profound impact on both governance priorities and democratic processes. Parliaments around the world are looking at if and how innovations they have adopted to continue functioning during the pandemic will be integrated into the ‘new normal’ of parliamentary work. Can innovations such as virtual parliaments strengthen engagement with citizens? Can governments be effectively held to account through online questioning?
The global pandemic has highlighted the resilience of our democratic institutions, the universal desire for fundamental freedoms, and the necessity of multilateralism.
Yet the crisis has also shed light on the ease with which restrictions can be imposed on democratic checks and balances, civic participation, and human rights, and it has exposed challenges for cooperation in times of need.
“The COVID-19 pandemic threatens more than the lives and the livelihoods of people throughout the world. It is also a political crisis that threatens the future of liberal democracy. It represents a formidable global challenge to democracy. Authoritarians around the world see the crisis as a new political battleground in their fight to stigmatize democracy as feeble and reverse its dramatic gains of the past few decades.
