Diversity and political participation in NES - Panel

It is difficult to achieve and maintain a stable democratic government within a pluralist society without equal political participation of all components, Political involvement and pluralism are mandatory platforms for a stable democracy in which all components, especially minority rights, are protected. Recognizing political and cultural pluralism means respecting the principles of democracy and ensuring that everyone in society can express himself and benefit from the same rights as the majority.
