At the invitation of the Parliament of Spain, the 143rd Assembly of the IPU and its related meetings are being held in Madrid (IFEMA Palacio Municipal) from 26 to 30 November 2021.

The main focus of the Assembly is on Contemporary challenges to democracy: Overcoming division and building community. With eroding public trust in political systems, growing polarization, and the spread of disinformation through social media, IPU Members discuss what parliaments can do to address these problems.

The #IPU Standing Committee on #Democracy and #HumanRights is meeting at #IPU143 to discuss worldwide legislation to combat online child sexual exploitation and abuse.
