Summit for Democracy
Virtual summit hosted by the United States / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Summit for Democracy is a virtual summit hosted by the United States "to renew democracy at home and confront autocracies abroad". The first summit was held on December 9–10, 2021.[1][2] The three themes are defending against authoritarianism, addressing and fighting corruption, and advancing respect for human rights.[3] Contradictory to its themes, multiple un-democratic and authoritarian nations have attended, which has attracted criticism.
