About IBSA

The IBSA Dialogue Forum brings together three large pluralistic, multicultural and multiracial societies from three continents as a purely South-South grouping of like-minded countries, committed to inclusive sustainable development, in pursuit of the well-being for their peoples and those of the developing world. IBSA was formalised and launched through the adoption of the Brasilia Declaration on 6 June 2003. Its creation recognised the necessity of a process of dialogue among developing nations and countries of the South to counter their marginalisation. The principles, norms and values underpinning the IBSA Dialogue Forum are participatory democracy, respect for human rights, the Rule of Law and the strengthening of multilateralism. More.
