Conference Results: IAPEE Resolution

The key outcome of the Conference was the unanimous adoption of a resolution — the document jointly developed by the participants during the conference and serving as the cornerstone of the new Association.

The resolution enshrines the fundamental principles of the future association: independence and impartiality of expertise, respect for the sovereignty of states, consideration of the national specifics of electoral processes, and a commitment to transparency and professional standards of international observation. The document places particular emphasis on the need to develop a more balanced and objective system for assessing electoral and political processes at the global level.

The adoption of the resolution was the result of the joint work of experts from various countries, who, during the conference, developed agreed-upon approaches and key provisions for the future institutional architecture of the Association.

In the near future, IAPEE will begin the practical implementation of its stated goals—the formation of an expert network, the launch of international observation missions, and the development of new forms of professional cooperation in the field of electoral expertise.
