The '''International Council for Democracy (ICD)''' is an {{wp|international organization}} whose stated aim is to uphold and promote {{wp|democracy}} and the {{wp|rule of law}} both within its member states and around the world. Founded in 1938, it has 28 member-states and 3 partners. It is often considered a continuation of the [[Great War (Kylaris)#Grand Alliance|Grand Alliance]] from the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]].

The ICD is an official [[Community of Nations]] observer. The two organizations have a history of cooperation. However, the Community of Nations maintains no official bilateral ties with the ICD. Both bodies are given different powers by their member states. For example, the ICD has permission to monitor elections in its member states. The Community of Nations is focused on preventing conflict and upholding international law.
 
The headquarters of the organization are located in [[Ashcombe]], Estmere. {{wp|English language|Estmerish}} and {{wp|French language|Gaullican}} are its two official languages.

The International Council for Democracy aims to uphold and promote democracy on the international stage. As such, many of its activities seek to bolster existing democracies and assist in the process of {{wp|democratization}} in emerging democracies. One of its foremost activities is the organization’s annual Report on Global Democracy. The report assesses the status of democracy on a global scale in addition to measuring the {{wp|State of democracy|state of democracy}} in x countries, of which x are sovereign states, x are members of the Community of Nations, and x are members of the International Council for Democracy itself. Individual states are evaluated and compared in the report’s National Democracy Index.

Monitoring elections is done through the Office for Elections and Democratic Institutions (OEDI), one of the organization's institutions. Monitors are sent out by OEDI on a short-term or long-term basis. Their deployment spans each phase of the electoral process. The monitors observe the process and report their findings to the OEDI, which in turn reports to the ICD at large. The findings are also made public.
The organization also monitors elections in member states and partners through its Office for Elections and Democratic Institutions (OEDI). Election monitors are deployed on a short-term or long-term basis spanning each phase of the electoral process.  


-Work with NGOs that promote democracy and human rights  
The ICD has ongoing partnerships with {{wp|non-governmental organizations}} (NGOs) that promote democracy and human rights in both developed and developing countries. The ICD regularly issues joint reports with NGOs on topics including the rights of {{wp|LGBT}} people, women, children, and racial and ethnic minorities, {{wp|prison conditions}}, the use of {{wp|torture}} and the {{wp|death penalty}}, and {{wp|freedom of the press}}. These reports are circulated among other international organizations and member states and intended to inform debate regarding the protection of human and civil rights in national and international law.

The International Council for Democracy (ICD) is an international organization intended to uphold and promote democracy and the rule of law in its member states and around the world. Founded in 1938, it is often considered a continuation of the Grand Alliance from the Great War. Two subsidiary institutions, the Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs and Global Development Bank, operate as organs of the ICD. The ICD is an official Community of Nations observer and the two organizations have a history of cooperation. The organization is headquartered in Morwall, Estmere.

Activities

The ICD aims to uphold and promote democracy on the international stage. As such, many of its activities seek to bolster existing democracies and assist in the process of democratization in emerging democracies. One of its best-known activities is the organization’s annual Report on Global Democracy, which assesses the state of democracy in its member states and partners. States are evaluated and compared in the report’s National Democracy Index.

The organization also monitors elections in member states and partners through its Office for Elections and Democratic Institutions (OEDI). Election monitors are deployed on a short-term or long-term basis spanning each phase of the electoral process.

The ICD has ongoing partnerships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that promote democracy and human rights in both developed and developing countries. The ICD regularly issues joint reports with NGOs on topics including the rights of LGBT people, women, children, and racial and ethnic minorities, prison conditions, the use of torture and the death penalty, and freedom of the press. These reports are circulated among other international organizations and member states and intended to inform debate regarding the protection of human and civil rights in national and international law.
