Requirement
Informed democratic decisions
Collective decisions should combine representation, participation, information and contestability without overriding rights.
The proposal
Combine representation, deliberation, agenda-setting, possible direct voting and information within rights, reason-giving, contestability and safeguards against capture.
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
- World4Humans requirement using source-specific external authorities.
- Established standards, methods or components exist; the wider World4Humans formulation is not established by them alone.
