FORUM: "Bring Human Rights into Focus.'' International Day of Parliamentarism 2026. The IPU was founded on 30 June 1889 by a small group of parliamentarians who believed that parliamentary dialogue and diplomacy were a better way of settling differences than war. 137 years later, the IPU is the parliament of parliaments, a thriving international organization made up of 183 national parliaments and open to all 44,000 parliamentarians in the world.
