【915 #國際民主日】
大家知道今天是一年一度的「國際民主日」嗎？
這是在2007年第62屆 #聯合國 大會所通過設立的
決議聲明：「民主不僅僅是一項目標；民主還能大力推動經濟和社會進步、國際和平與安全以及 #尊重基本人權 和 #自由」
J個紀念日也呼應了
聯大1948年的 #世界人權宣言 第21條：
「#人民的意志 是政府權力的基礎；這一意志應以#定期的 和 #真正的 #選舉 來展現，並以 #普遍 和 #平等的 #投票程序 進行」
身在 #亞洲民主燈塔 的台灣
在聯合國「國際民主日」的這一天
我們可以大聲地向全世界說 #我台灣我驕傲
但我們更期待
民主因聯合國的勇氣、智慧和作為
讓今天從值得紀念的這一天
變成值得慶祝的每一天
#民主勝利

Today is the #InternationalDayOfDemocracy, which was first launched at the 62nd United Nations General Assembly back in 2007 to raise awareness of #democracy around the world and urge countries down the path towards democratization. It also echoes the 21st article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was published in 1948:
"(1) Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives.
(2) Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.
(3) The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures."
As a #BeaconOfDemocracy in Asia, we're proud to share the values of #democracy, #transparency and respect for #HumanRights with #LikeMindedPartners around the world.
