Paragraph
Participation in the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2014, para. 89
- Paragraph text
- The human rights framework stresses that participation is not just "useful" or a "good idea"; it gives rise to obligations that States have to comply with. The human rights principle of accountability is indispensable in ensuring that decision makers actually take the action necessary to translate voice into influence. As such, participation is an antidote to corruption, exposing maladministration and vested interests. Public officials are answerable and accountable to the public, including on how public input is taken into account in decision-making. There are consequences for failure to fulfil obligations that can ultimately be enforced in court.
