16. Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Targets: 16.6 Develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels (democratic processes are based on safe and not rigged eections)
16.7 Ensure responsive, includive, participatory and represenative decision-making at all levels
16.8 Broaden and strengthen the participation of developing countries in the institutions of the global governance (through the lessons learned from the experience of EU, US and other countries that have gone through elections in 2024)
16.10 Ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements (secure electoral debate against inferences or manipulation will ensure that citizens will have access to reliable info and will vote with full awareness).
The idea is to showcase what European Union (through EDMO and other tools) has put in place to safeguard the integrity of EU 24 elections and to compare these measures (and their impact) with what has been done in national elections such as the US presidential 2024 and others. This is why a roundtable format could be the most suitable.
intro by the Moderator, presentation of the speakers
Speakers report:
EUROPEAN COMMISSION: measures put in place to safeguard integrity of EU24 elections (code of practice signed by the platforms, enforcement measures)
EDMO: creation of the Task Force for the integrity of the elections and its impact
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON: measures put in place ahead of US elections and their effectiveness
Debate with the audience in the room and from remote
after the exposal of the measure put in place and their impact by the EU and the US, will follow a debate with the people in the room and from remote to start to examine what could be learned from these experiences and could be eventually applied elsewhere. To this scope the interaction with the participants in the room and from remote will be essential.
