Principle
Participation and contestability
We think power should explain its decisions, use reliable information and be open to challenge through effective remedies.
The proposal
Power must be capable of giving reasons, open to challenge and subject to reliable information, appropriate participation and effective remedies.
How to read it
Sources identify relevant rights, methods, findings or precedents. They do not automatically establish the full World4Humans formulation. Where the project makes its own choice, that choice remains open to criticism and revision.
Sources and literature
- Existing rights or treaty sources, plus a World4Humans project choice or operationalization.
- Established standards, methods or components exist; the wider World4Humans formulation is not established by them alone.
