Local Government and Human Rights: Doing Good Service

© 2005,  106 pages.


This new Council report looks at the increasingly important role played by local governments in our daily lives, from delivering health, water and sanitation to providing primary education, street lighting and housing.  The report discusses how applying human rights principles, such as non discrimination, participation and accountability, can help local government officials perform more effectively and with more legitimacy.
