The Inter‐American Democratic Charter (IADC) posits the interrelation and interdependence among democracy, the protection of human rights, and the promotion of integral development. In the essential elements and components of democracy that it identifies, it contains representative and participatory traits; representative democracy is not possible without popular participation. It provides the tools for the defense and growth of democracy. The Democratic Charter is the product of Organization of American States (OAS) member state consensus and citizen and civil society contributions. This article reviews some of the lessons and challenges of inter‐American democracy promotion since the IADC's creation in 2001. It asserts that the Democratic Charter itself is not the problem, but rather the lack of political will of OAS member states to take full advantage of its possibilities
