ISLAMABAD: The United Nations (UN)’s International Day of Democracy will be observed on September 15 across the world including Pakistan to raise public awareness about democracy.

agencies and non-government organizations, hold various initiatives
to promote democracy on the International Day of Democracy.

The theme of the 2011 International Day of Democracy is "What
do citizens expect from their parliament?".
