Member events for International Day of Parliamentarism 2026

Join us in celebrating International Day of Parliamentarism and the IPU’s 137th anniversary on or around Tuesday 30 June 2026!

The IPU was founded on 30 June 1889 by a small group of parliamentarians who believed that parliamentary dialogue and diplomacy were a better way of settling differences than war.

137 years later, the IPU is the parliament of parliaments, a thriving international organization made up of 183 national parliaments and open to all 44,000 parliamentarians in the world.

This year, in line with the IPU's theme of the year, we are encouraging you to join our new campaign  Bring human rights into focus 

  • Share what your parliament is doing to bring human rights into focus including which of the 10 campaign actions you have undertaken.
  • Organize an event or parliamentary debate to celebrate the day, focusing on human rights and the campaign’s objectives.
  • Nominate a fellow parliamentarian for the 2026 Cremer-Passy Prize in recognition of their outstanding efforts to shine a light on human rights. Deadline 30 June.
