International Day of Parliamentarism is celebrated every year on June 30 to commemorate the founding date of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
The theme for this year’s celebration is ‘Parliaments for the Planet.’
The IPU was established with the noble objective of promoting democratic governance, fostering accountability, and encouraging collaboration among national parliaments.
This special day, established by a United Nations General Assembly Resolution in 2018, serves as an opportunity to reflect on the progress made by parliaments worldwide in achieving predetermined goals.
The inaugural UN International Day of Parliamentarism was celebrated in 1899 upon the establishment of the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
Subsequently, the day was officially designated in 2018 through a United Nations General Assembly Resolution.
