The Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament takes place at the UN Palais des Nations in Geneva, organised by the Inter-Parliamentary Union in close collaboration with the United Nations at Geneva.
Every five years, the IPU, in close cooperation with the United Nations, convenes a World Conference of Speakers of Parliament. This World Conference aims to advance strong and effective multilateralism, with the UN at its core and where parliaments and MPs are called upon to play a key role: promoting accountability and democracy in international relations, carrying out parliamentary diplomacy in the service of peace and understanding, bringing the people's voice to the UN, and helping to translate international commitments into national realities.
