International Accountability

International Accountability refers to the obligation of states and international organizations to be answerable for their actions and decisions on the global stage. It involves mechanisms that ensure compliance with international laws, treaties, and norms, allowing for transparency, responsibility, and consequences related to human rights, environmental standards, and ethical governance. This concept emphasizes the need for nations to uphold their commitments and be held liable for violations, fostering trust and cooperation in international relations. Mechanisms for accountability can include international courts, tribunals, and monitoring bodies that investigate and adjudicate cases of misconduct. International Accountability aims to promote justice, prevent impunity, and encourage responsible behavior by actors in the international community.
