*This site is not an official US Government website
This site is a platform through which global civil society can share information, ideas, learning and resources related to engagement around the Summit for Democracy (S4D)- a series of events and a Year of Action (YoA) led by the US Government to support democratic renewal around the world. The Summit for Democracy as a process is an extraordinary opportunity to galvanize attention and mobilize international action; and the process associated with it is a critical platform for engagement on issues of democracy during the course of 2022.
The goals of the site are threefold- first to act as a hub for information and conversations related to the S4D; second to ensure the transparency and inclusivity of the S4D processes, and third to bolster accountability for commitments implemented as part of the Year of Action.

The World Justice Forum 2022 will tackle the root causes of our global rule of law crisis through three days of agenda setting, learning, and action focused on three intersecting themes – access to justice, anti-corruption and open government, and equal rights and nondiscrimination. Join us in The Hague and online as we build a global movement for justice and the rule of law.

360/Open Summit: Contested Realities | Connected Futures
Virtual Event | Organised by Atlantic Council | Held in Brussels, Belgium in EnglishDefending against authoritarianism
Register here
The theme of this year’s 360/OS is Contested Realities | Connected Futures. Facing generational global challenges and unprecedented technological innovation, communities and countries are struggling to agree on a shared set of facts. Emboldened autocrats seek to undermine the very idea of collective action that underpins the democratic world. While democracy versus autocracy, fact versus fiction, and who should hold power are contested, one thing is certain: our futures are connected. As today’s competition shapes the global system for generations to come, it is up to this community of activists, industry leaders, and public servants to work together to create a rights-respecting, transparent, and representative future for all.
In Brussels, this global community will gather for presentations, workshops, and conversations on everything from countering foreign influence, to building resilient information environments, to the role of the Internet in online movements, and ensuring democratic approaches to a decentralized digital world. You’ll hear from global leaders and innovators at the heart of these issues and more.
