Social protection and old age poverty 2010, para. 76
Paragraph
Paragraph text
A human rights approach emphasizes that transparency and access to information are important safeguards against corruption and means of increasing accessibility and participation. Limited access to information by beneficiaries impedes their access to programmes and their ability to claim their rights. Non-transparent implementation of pension schemes risks perpetuating unequal power relations and increasing the likelihood of mismanagement.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
