How does the nexus between security, human rights and good governance play out in the sustainable development context? What role do Ombuds institutions (and National Human Rights Institutions) play therein, and how can their security sector oversight mandate enhance national SDG accountability regimes?
The interdisciplinary research "Leaving no one behind, leaving no one unaccountable: ombuds institutions, good (security sector) governance and Sustainable Development Goal 16" offers the first comprehensive account of the role of ombuds institutions in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 16, devoted to effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions.
Many SDG 16 targets are rather vague, and limited guidance exists on how to measure and achieve them, especially in fragile contexts. This latest in our series of SSR Papers, provides guidance and recommendations to ombuds institutions and other actors on how to best support each other in achieving SDG 16.
It provides a key resource for scholars, policymakers, and activists concerned with effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions, and those interested in political science, security studies, human rights, and development studies.
