convenção
Explanation:
Calls on Member States to support and strengthen the "UN Democracy Caucus" that promotes democracy among the member states of the UN and helps to establish democratic structures within the UN system by serving as a role model for emerging democracies while at the same time preventing non-democratic authoritarian states from chairing important UN bodies and thus endangering UN credibility;

Incita os Estados-Membros a apoiarem e reforçarem a "Convenção em prol da Democracia das Nações Unidas", cujo objectivo é promover a democracia junto dos países membros das Nações Unidas e contribuir para o estabelecimento de estruturas democráticas no âmbito do sistema das Nações Unidas, constituindo um modelo para as democracias emergentes e, ao mesmo tempo, impedindo os Estados autoritários não democráticos de ocuparem a presidência nos órgãos importantes das Nações Unidas, pondo assim em risco a sua credibilidade;

junta


Explanation:
The American Heritage gives 3 meanings to "caucus", among which is "(Chiefly British) A committee within a political party charged with determining policy." I'm supposing that is the one meaning you are referring to in the question.

To my ears, "junta" would be the best option (basing myself on AH's and your own definition). If "caucus" is more like a given syndicate's top-representative association, "comitê" would work, too. Another option is "delegação", but "junta" should work just fine.
