The Parliamentary Toolbox for Democracy Defense is a practical guide developed by Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA) to support legislators in safeguarding democratic institutions and values in times of rising authoritarianism, democratic backsliding, and institutional erosion. The Toolbox equips parliamentarians with actionable strategies, legislative tools, and international norms to defend democratic governance, uphold the rule of law, and protect fundamental rights.
The resource offers concrete recommendations for legislative oversight, coalition-building, public engagement, and early response to democratic threats. It also highlights case studies and good practices from around the world, fostering peer learning and transnational solidarity among elected officials committed to democratic resilience.
