Membership
The IDU has over 80 Member Parties from over 60 countries belonging to itself or one of its Regional Unions. It is the only international organisation of its kind with member parties from all continents. Many of its members come from democracies newly established during the 1990s. In addition to full membership of the IDU, parties can also join one of the Regional Unions or the Women’s and Youth Organisations under the International Democrat Union umbrella, but will then have only partial access to IDU events.
Basically, parties wishing to join the International Democrat Union must share the values of the IDU, as stated in the IDU Declaration of Principles (the London Declaration).
Applicant parties must have at least one IDU party prepared to ‘sponsor’ its membership. This party must be a full member of the IDU (for current members and their contact details. The sponsoring party will take the lead in informing the IDU Executive about the applicant and guiding applicant parties through the admission process, including being available at the relevant meeting of the Executive. The sponsor party does not have to come from the same region as the applicant. There is no limit to the number of sponsors an applicant party can have.
If determined that the membership criteria are met, the applicant party will be invited to present its application at a meeting of the IDU Executive. If approved by the Executive, not necessarily at the same meeting if further deliberations are considered necessary, the applicant from the time of the recommendation will be listed either as an Associate member (if not eligible for the full membership at that stage) or as an Observer recommended for full membership, to be invited to all IDU functions from then on.
The Party Leaders Meeting decides status of full membership and – if so decided – the party will become a member with full rights after the Party Leader or Chairman has signed the IDU Declaration of Principles – the London declaration of 1983. The IDU Party Leaders meetings are normally held every three years.
