Relationship Between Human Rights and Good Governance

The concepts of good governance and human rights are mutually reinforcing, both being based
on core principles of participation, accountability, transparency and State responsibility.

Fourthly, Human rights require a conducive and enabling environment, in particular appropriate
regulations,institutions and procedures framing the actions of the State. Human rights provide a
set of performance standards against which Governments and other actors can be held
accountable. At thesame time, good governance policies should empower individuals to live with
dignity and freedom.

Fifthly, Human rights strengthen good governance frameworks. They require: establishing the
promotion of justice as the aim of the rule of law; understanding that thecredibility of democracy
depends on the ef fectiveness of its response to people‟s political, social and economicdemands;
promoting checks and balances between formal and informal institutions of governance.etc.
