Цель статьи – комплексный анализ деятельности Межамериканского союза избирательных органов (UNIORE) с акцентом на его историю, организационную структуру и практическую реализацию функций. Методологическую основу составляют методы анализа и кейс-стади. Источниковая база включает уставные документы UNIORE, материалы его конференций и миссий, а также научные работы, посвященные аналогичным структурам. Результаты показывают, что UNIORE, основанный в 1991 г., представляет собой неправительственную структуру, объединяющую государственные избирательные органы и действующую на основе «мягкой координации» с принятием решений рекомендательного характера. Наиболее значимой реализуемой функцией организации выступает международное наблюдение за выборами (более 320 миссий), охватывающее весь избирательный цикл: предварительный этап, день голосования и постэлекторальную оценку. Для профессионализации наблюдения создана специализированная онлайн-школа. Функции закрепления международных стандартов и разработки избирательного законодательства для UNIORE не типичны. Деятельность организации способствует легитимности избирательных процессов и обмену знаниями между национальными избирательными администрациями при уважении суверенитета государств-членов.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The relevance of the study stems from the insufficient examination of interactions among electoral management bodies within multilateral platforms as a distinct format of electoral diplomacy. The article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the activities of the Inter-American Union of Electoral Bodies (UNIORE), focusing on its history, organizational structure, and practical implementation of functions. The methodological framework includes analytical methods and a case study approach. The sources comprise UNIORE’s founding documents, conference and mission materials, as well as scholarly works on analogous organizations. The findings indicate that UNIORE, established in 1991, is a non-governmental structure uniting state electoral bodies and operating through «soft coordination» mechanisms, adopting non-binding recommendations. The organization’s most significant function is international election observation (over 320 missions), covering the entire electoral cycle: pre-electoral phase, election day, and post-electoral assessment. A specialized online observer school has been created to professionalize observation. The functions of establishing international electoral standards and participating in the drafting of electoral legislation are not typical for UNIORE. The organization’s activities enhance the legitimacy of electoral processes and facilitate knowledge exchange among national electoral administrations while respecting the sovereignty of member states.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Межамериканский союз избирательных органов</kwd><kwd>международное электоральное сотрудничество</kwd><kwd>наблюдение за выборами</kwd><kwd>электоральный мониторинг</kwd><kwd>органы администрирования выборов</kwd><kwd>мягкая координация</kwd><kwd>избирательный цикл</kwd><kwd>миссии наблюдателей</kwd><kwd>электоральная дипломатия</kwd><kwd>демократические институты</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Inter-American Union of Electoral Bodies</kwd><kwd>international electoral cooperation</kwd><kwd>election observation</kwd><kwd>electoral monitoring</kwd><kwd>electoral management bodies</kwd><kwd>soft coordination</kwd><kwd>electoral cycle</kwd><kwd>observer missions</kwd><kwd>electoral diplomacy</kwd><kwd>democratic institutions</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group xml:lang="ru"><funding-statement /></funding-group><funding-group xml:lang="en"><funding-statement /></funding-group></article-meta></front><body /><back><ref-list><ref id="ref0"><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Амбурцев, Р.
