This report showcases activities and achievements. In 2021, the Permanent Secretariat of the Community of Democracies began the year with a sincere attempt to return to normalcy after the global pandemic of 2020. The Delta and Omicron variants, however, impacted this course. In-person activities supporting human rights and the rule of law took place in varied locations as Geneva, Morocco, and through joint missions with civil society to Finland and Romania. Other planned for in-person events were eventually deemed safest only for virtual formats, as with the Community of Democracies’ 10th Ministerial Conference and the Youth Assembly for the Summit for Democracy and Governing Council meetings.
