The reason for the Congress is to discuss the current democracy. Starting from the fact that democracy is a Human Right, number 21 in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations. “Human Right # 21, The Right to Democracy. 1. Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives. 2. Everyone has the right to equal access to public service in his country. 3. The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures.” www.youthforhumanrights.org @humanrightstampa
