Inter-Parliamentary Union

The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) is an international organization that brings together parliamentarians—elected members of national legislatures—from around the world. Its main goal is to promote dialogue and cooperation among countries to strengthen democracy, peace, and respect for human rights. The IPU facilitates discussions on global issues like security, development, and governance, providing a platform for lawmakers to share ideas, best practices, and collaborate on solutions. It works to ensure parliaments are effective, transparent, and responsive to the needs of their citizens, fostering international understanding and diplomatic relations.
