 I'll give the floor to the representative of the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance idea. Yeah, the floor. Thank you, Ambassador. We would like to thank the co-facilitators of Namibia and Germany for convening this important meeting. Excellencies, International Idea is the only intergovernment organization with a sole mandate to promote democracy. We have been providing support to control our political reforms for 28 years in areas such as inclusive constitution building, electoral processes, parliamentary support, gender equality and inclusion, and democracy assessment through our flagship initiative on the global state of democracy. Our aim is to contribute to reinvigorating multilateralism and enriching UN discussions by engaging on relevant issues through the lens of democracy and its key principles. We thank the co-facilitators and member states for the opportunity to provide inputs to this consultative process as we view the summit of the future as an important forum to build a better world for future generations. We would like to bring three preliminary points to the attention of this body based on the key democratic principles of inclusion and participation, accountability, and transparency. First, the summit of the future must be an inclusive and participatory process that provides ample opportunity for all stakeholders, including civil society and underrepresented groups from all over the world, to make their voices heard, provide inputs, and outline their priorities. The summit of the future should be an inclusive platform to discuss how gaps in existing global agendas can most effectively be addressed, and it should provide a holistic approach for intergenerational cooperation to tackle future challenges, and it should include actions that impact equitably both the global north and the global south. We can only achieve this endeavor by creating a democratic space where all voices are brought into the discussion, particularly those most impacted by the decisions made in this body. Civil society's views and recommendations should be at the center of this negotiation process. Second, the summit of the future should ensure accountability in alignment and coordination with different existing UN processes and ongoing agendas, and in particular, the outcomes of the SDG summits in September of 2023 to ensure their effective impact. The SDG summits will provide key recommendations for ensuring that future generations face a more sustainable future, and as such, will provide key inputs to the summit of the future. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the implementation of our common agenda, and the World Social Summit in 2025 should all be considered complementary of one another and linked to the summit of the future in 2024. Third, international idea encourages the transparent and predictable process urging the co-facilitators to provide a clear timeline for the roadmap of this process, with timely information and guiding questions provided before each consultation to ensure an informal discussion. Consideration should also be given to ensure complementarity, enable synergies, and reduce overlap with other parallel consultations. International idea reiterates its support for an inclusive, accountable, and transparent process for the summit of the future to provide our children with a more sustainable and democratic future. I thank you. I thank this thing with the representative, international idea, and I now.
