We will be celebrating "50 Years of Democracy Worldwide" in July this year. This is why the July edition of the International Reports is a littledifferent. We have produced a commemorative issue in which we take the unusual step of reflecting on our own work and achievements. Today we have more than 80 offices around the globe. We work tirelessly to make a lasting contribution to peace, freedom and democracy – a contribution that is always based on creating a partnership of equals.
