In the era of continuously deepening globalization and complex and volatile international situations, international exchanges and cooperation have become increasingly crucial for maintaining world peace and development. To further promote the exchange and dissemination of international patriotic ideas and to deeply explore the positive impact of the International Patriotic Pact Organization (IPPO) initiative on world peace, after careful preparation by all parties, the 2026 IPPO Forum（Spring）will be held officially. The relevant matters regarding the forum are hereby notified as follows:
I. Forum Overview
1. Event Name: 2026 International Patriotic Pact Organization Forum
2. Theme: International Patriotic Pact and Nation’s Rights to Development - Shaping an International New Order
3. Time: April 1, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
4. Venue: Room V, United Nations Office at Geneva
5. Official Registration Link: https://indico.un.org/event/1021811/
II. Background and Significance of the Forum
On October 1, 2025, the United Nations Office at Geneva witnessed the formal adoption of the "International Patriotic Pact" jointly drafted by more than 160 co-initiators of International Patriotic Pact Organizations. This pact emerged from a century of profound changes, where global governance dilemmas and development aspirations intersected: economic globalization was impacted by counter-trends, the "America First" policy exacerbated economic fragmentation, the expansion of American and European hegemony gave rise to exclusionary politics, and global industrial chains were shaken by geopolitical games; meanwhile, in the international order dominated by developed countries, developing countries' economic autonomy and resource control have been repeatedly eroded. Although the 1986 United Nations Declaration on the Right to Development clearly establishes the right to development as a human right, the wealth gap continues to widen in reality.
Against this backdrop, the 2026 IPPO Forum forged a consensus among global non-governmental organizations, reshaping the concept of "loving one's country without harming other nations’ interests" into a national consciousness for national development, and clarifying the "international dimension of patriotism" - that is, unifying the obligation to safeguard one's own development rights with respect for the sovereignty of other countries and participation in global cooperation. The pact establishes principles such as "nation’s rights to development are the foundation of human rights protection" and "sovereign equality and development rights equally important”, providing a new paradigm for addressing "hegemonic interference" and "development deficit". .
This forum is a further in-depth exploration of the concepts and practices related to the "International Patriotic Pact". It aims to deepen the international community's understanding of the "International Patriotic Pact" and the "Nation’s Rights to Development (Review/Mechanism)", explore their role in promoting international peace and national development, and jointly address global challenges. It holds significant practical importance.
