Template:Infobox Geopolitical organization The International Council for Democracy is an international organization whose stated aim is to uphold and promote democracy and the 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 Grand Alliance from the Great War.

The International Council for Democracy 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 council. Both bodies are given different powers by their member states. For example, the International Council for Democracy 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 Kota Merdeka, Negara. Estmerish and Gaullican are its two official languages.
