The Declaration of Principles for International Election Observation and the Code of Conduct for International Election Observers were developed through a multi-year process involving more than 20 intergovernmental and international nongovernmental organizations concerned with election observation around the world.  The process began informally in 2001 at the initiative of NDI and the United Nations Electoral Assistance Division (UNEAD) and included an initial meeting at the UN in New York and a meeting in Washington co-hosted by the OAS and NDI.  The declaration was commemorated at the UN on Oct. 27, 2005, and is now endorsed by 42 intergovernmental and international organizations, which are engaged in the process of improving international election observation.
