Governance
Democracy, the Rule of Law, etc.
The final report of the High Level Panel calls for "effective, open and accountable institutions for all."
In a section that is likely to pose problems for consensus if it were adopted by the UN Sec-Gen as something to present to the General Assembly in 2015, the final report
states:
"We are calling for a fundamental shift – to recognise peace and good governance as core elements of wellbeing, not optional extras. This is a universal agenda, for all countries. Responsive and legitimate institutions should encourage the rule of law, property rights, freedom of speech and the media, open political choice, access to justice, and accountable government and public institutions. We need a transparency revolution, so citizens can see exactly where and how taxes, aid and revenues from extractive industries are spent. These are ends as well as means."
