South Korea Prepares to Host Third Summit for Democracy Amidst Global Concerns

South Korea is set to host the third Summit for Democracy next week as part of a U.S.-led initiative aimed at addressing concerns about democratic backsliding and the erosion of rights and freedoms worldwide. While details about the participants remain scarce, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will lead a delegation from his country.

Kelly Razzouk, National Security Council senior director for democracy and human rights, emphasized the significance of the summit, particularly in light of ongoing elections globally. The event is expected to focus on digital threats to democracy, including issues such as misinformation, artificial intelligence, and deep fakes. South Korea’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kweon Ki-hwan, highlighted the country’s intention to showcase the responsible use of new technologies to support democracy while seeking international cooperation in this regard.

Among the discussions planned, the U.S. will convene a meeting addressing the misuse of commercial spyware, which has been noted to inhibit freedom of expression globally. South Korea, a previous co-host of the summit, aims to involve youth participation and announce projects supporting the challenges faced by younger generations.

Initially held virtually in 2021 due to COVID-19 concerns, past summits have received mixed reviews, with some rights activists questioning their efficacy in driving meaningful action. South Korea itself faces scrutiny over issues related to minority rights, including those of women and LGBTQ individuals, as well as press freedom. Critics have raised concerns about recent government actions perceived as undermining social diversity and democratic principles.

While the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute at the University of Gothenburg noted setbacks in South Korea’s democracy, including legal actions against figures linked to previous administrations and challenges to gender equality and freedom of expression, experts suggest that concerns about democratic backsliding may be premature. However, issues such as gender discrimination remain significant challenges, potentially placing South Korea at odds with other Asian nations advancing protections for LGBTQ communities.

Philip Turner, a former New Zealand ambassador to Korea, views the summit as an opportunity for NGOs and others to address such concerns directly. Despite criticisms, Kweon reiterated South Korea’s commitment to promoting freedom, peace, and prosperity globally through its hosting of the Summit for Democracy.
