The conference stressed on the issues facing some democratic nations, such as the marginalization of its citizens, the lack of participation in public life, the relationship between economy and governance, climate change and natural resource management, and counter terrorism strategies adopted by some countries that do not adhere to the basic principles of democracy. Furthermore, the conference stated that a huge gap exists between the public perception of democratic values and the reality and actual practices of democracy.
