Right to health of adolescents 2016, para. 62
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Accountability, including its constituent components monitoring, review and redress, is essential if the right to health is to be more than an aspiration. Accountability reveals where progress has been made and where it has not been made, allows duty bearers to explain what they have done and make adjustments, and provides an opportunity for rights holders, including adolescents, to engage with duty bearers in the promotion and protection of their rights and to seek redress where violations have occurred.
