General objectives of the Assembly include:
- providing participants with a forum to exchange practical, hands-on knowledge that they can use in the countries and regions in which they work;
- ensuring that the extent of repression exercised by regimes in closed societies will not pass unnoticed in the international community, and to devise new ways to enhance assistance to those inside those countries;
- directing attention to the needs of democrats in transitional and authoritarian countries;
- encouraging other established democracies, both old and new, to support democracy-promotion efforts; and
- exploring ways in which participants can use new information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their work.
