The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) organized in partnership with Arizona State University a virtual panel debate about parliaments, democracy and COVID-19. The discussion was led by parliamentarians, researchers and civil society advocates. Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, participated with a pre-recorded message. Several panelists and participants highlighted the challenges faced by parliaments in shaping responses to the pandemic. Many also underscored the importance of striking a balance between the need for urgent action, protecting human rights, and parliament’s legislative, budgetary and oversight roles.
