| 10 |  +5🗳🇨🇴 Continued Observation: IAPEE Experts Monitor the Runoff in Colombia
On June 21, Colombia held the second round of presidential elections, with Abelardo de la Espriella and Iván Cepeda competing for the presidency after no candidate reached the 50% threshold in the first round. The runoff determined the country’s leader for the 2026–2030 term. Turnout remained solid, reflecting the high stakes of this electoral process.
🌏 Following up on our mission during the first round, the International Association of Political and Electoral Expertise (IAPEE), with the support of the Observatory of Electoral Studies (OEEPI-UNLP), once again organized an observation team at overseas polling stations. This time, the mission brought together five observers from four countries, representing diverse regions across the globe.
📊 In parallel, our colleagues from Campaign Insider | Pavel Dubravsky prepared an in‑depth analytical report on the Colombian elections. The study offered a thorough assessment of the electoral landscape and provided a well‑grounded forecast on the likely winner. Their insights added significant value to our broader understanding of the race and complemented our on‑the‑ground observations. | 568 |
| 11 |  +4🗳🇵🇪 IAPEE experts joined the international observation of Peru’s presidential election
As of this morning, vote counting from yesterday’s presidential runoff in Peru is still underway, with no official winner declared. The two leading candidates — right-wing populist Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former authoritarian leader Alberto Fujimori, and left-wing rural activist Pedro Castillo, a teachers’ union leader — are separated by less than one percentage point.
With over 90% of ballots tallied, the outcome hinges on the remaining votes from remote rural areas, which are expected to favor Castillo. Both campaigns have urged calm while also claiming irregularities, though international observers have noted no evidence of widespread fraud. A final result is not expected until later today at the earliest.
🌏 Members of the International Association of Political and Electoral Expertise (IAPEE), with the support of the Electoral Observatory of the National University of La Plata (OEEPI-UNLP), served as observers at overseas polling stations during the election.
🌎A total of four observers, representing four countries, took part in the mission. | 583 |

| 16 |  +5🗳🇨🇴 Experts of the International Association of Political and Electoral Experts took part in observing the elections in Colombia
On May 31, Colombia held the first round of its presidential elections, choosing a head of state and vice president for the 2026–2030 term. Eleven candidates participated, but none reached the 50% threshold required for an outright win. Voter turnout was approximately 54%, consistent with recent campaign averages. A runoff will take place on June 21 between the two frontrunners, Abelardo de la Espriella and Iván Cepeda. Incumbent President Gustavo Petro was unable to seek reelection, as the Colombian constitution prohibits it.
🌏 Members of the International Association of Political and Electoral Experts (IAPEE), with the support of the Observatory of Electoral Studies (OEEPI-UNLP), served as observers at overseas polling stations during the election. A total of twelve observers representing eleven countries took part in the mission. The observer group included representatives from Latin America, North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. According to preliminary reports, the mission noted a high level of organization in the voting process.
📌 This geographical distribution strengthens the international character of the observation effort. It shows that the mission was not limited to neighboring states or a single political region, but brought together experts from different electoral traditions and legal-political contexts. At the same time, the strong presence of countries from the Global South — including Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East — gives the mission additional value from the perspective of comparative electoral expertise and South-South professional cooperation. | 334 |

| 19 |  🕊 New Horizons for Humanitarian Cooperation
On May 21, during the official presentation of the International Humanitarian Corps a cooperation agreement was signed between the International Humanitarian Corps and the Center for International Interaction and Cooperation, whose Board of Founders is chaired by Areg Gareginovich Agasaryan.
The agreement is aimed at developing fair and partnership-based cooperation in the humanitarian and cultural spheres, as well as at implementing joint projects in Russia and abroad.
🌏 For the Center for International Interaction and Cooperation, this is another step toward expanding international humanitarian dialogue and strengthening partnerships with organizations working in the fields of public diplomacy, culture, and international cooperation. | 408 |
| 20 |  ✔️International Electoral Expertise Discussed at the All-Russian Electoral Expert Forum 2026
🌏 Areg Agasaryan, Head of the Center for International Interaction and Cooperation and Deputy Chairman of the Public Council under Rossotrudnichestvo, took part in the discussion “International Expertise of Electoral Campaigns: From Observation Missions to the Rating of Electoral Systems” at the All-Russian Electoral Expert Forum 2026.
The discussion focused on how international election observation is changing, why traditional approaches are increasingly losing trust, and why the world needs new independent formats of electoral expertise.
A separate focus was placed on the International Association of Political and Electoral Expertise, established in April as a platform for experts from different countries who support equal dialogue, respect for sovereignty, and a rejection of any monopoly on the assessment of elections.
Most existing international organizations in the field of electoral expertise are politically or financially biased and promote an exclusively Western agenda. It was precisely in response to this that the first independent International Association of Political and Electoral Expertise was established. Its key distinction is genuine independence: the organization receives no external funding, and its work is built on grassroots initiative. The Association brings together 80 experts from 52 countries, representing all macro-regions of the world.
🌎 He emphasized that the idea of creating the Association came from the international expert community itself. According to Areg Agasaryan, experts from dozens of countries had been speaking for several years about the need for an alternative to biased Western structures, and Russia supported this request.
The Association already plans to take part in election observation in Peru, Colombia, Ethiopia, Brazil and Russia.
The discussion also featured Alexey Martynov, Associate Professor at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Lukushin, Research Fellow at the Center for Political Studies of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Petros Woldegiorgis Woldesenbet, Chair of the Federal Committee of the Prosperity Party of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and Sebastián López Calendino, Director of the Center for Electoral and Political-Institutional Studies at the National University of La Plata. | 417 |
