Interparliamentary Union

The Interparliamentary Union (IPU) is an international organization that connects national parliaments from around the world. Its primary goal is to promote dialogue, cooperation, and understanding among legislators to strengthen democratic governance and peace. By facilitating discussions on global issues like human rights, development, and conflict resolution, the IPU helps parliaments work together more effectively. It also encourages the sharing of best practices and supports parliamentary reform. Founded in 1889, the IPU serves as a platform for parliamentary diplomacy and international collaboration, fostering a more united and responsive global legislative community.
