- Our impact
Trabajamos para fomentar, proteger y fortalecer la democracia en todo el mundo. Creemos firmemente en la creación de sociedades justas e inclusivas, donde todos los grupos participan de manera plena en el proceso democrático. Tenemos el compromiso de lograr cambios reales y positivos en la vida de las personas mediante la creación de parlamentos nacionales fuertes que pueden lograr resultados en cuestiones como la salud, el desarrollo sostenible, la paz y la seguridad. - Parliaments
Every country in the world has some form of parliament. Parliamentary systems fall into two categories: bicameral and unicameral. Out of 193 countries in the world, 79 are bicameral and 114 are unicameral, making a total of 272 chambers of parliament with over 46,000 members of parliament. IPU membership is made up of 179 national parliaments. Discover the world's nationalFind a national parliament
Nuestra meta es hacer realidad la visión de parlamentos que son plenamente representativos, transparentes, accesibles, rendidores de cuentas y eficaces. Adoptamos medidas concretas para fortalecer los parlamentos como instituciones y apoyamos a los parlamentarios y al personal en su labor.
Comité Ejecutivo
The Executive Committee oversees our administration and makes recommendations to our Governing Council on various matters, including applications by national parliaments or regional parliamentary assemblies wishing to join us. It also assesses candidates for the post of Secretary General, and submits a recommendation to the Governing Council. The Committee sets the date and venue of our Governing Council sessions and a provisional agenda. It also proposes the IPU’s annual work programme and budget. It meets at least twice a year before our Assemblies, and can also hold extraordinary sessions if needed. The Executive Committee makes sure that decisions taken by our Assembly and Governing Council are put into practice.
It is made up of our President, 15 members from our different geopolitical groups, and the President of the Bureau of Women Parliamentarians. Each member serves a four-year term. Three of all elected members of the Executive Committee—20 per cent—have to be women.
Our Gender Partnership Group and Sub-Committee on Finance, composed of members drawn from the Executive Committee, are also part of this Committee’s work. The Gender Partnership Group aims to ensure that the interests and visions of men and women are taken into account equally in all IPU’s activities and decisions while the Sub-Finance Committee reviews and makes recommendations on financial matters to the Executive Committee.
