AL Co-CEO, Blair Glencorse, is at the United Nations in New York today as Co-Chair of the Open ... Government Partnership attending the SDG16 High-Level Conference. He spoke to delegates about the critical importance of protecting civic space and how SDG16 provided a solid framework for supporting disadvantaged social groups in demanding public integrity and accountability. "We need to develop or reinforce legal frameworks everywhere to ensure that the rights of activists, journalists, and independent media are protected; tackle disinformation and strengthen privacy laws. We must also strengthen legal frameworks that allow citizens and civil society organizations to form and operate- for example by ensuring that women and marginalized groups can easily come together to influence policy," he said. Blair added that we have to build on peaceful citizen movements, rather than shutting them down with force. This included realigning aid systems to support citizens directly. Protecting citizens’ right to assemble in public or private spaces to "express, espouse, and advocate collective interests" was also essential. "This is topical here in the US at the moment and perhaps there are lessons from elsewhere. For example, the Government of Nigeria has created a guide on peaceful protests with the Nigerian police and organizes citizen-police dialogues, working with independent bodies like the National Human Rights Commission," he shared. #SDG16 #UnitedNations 10 0 Share 142205772542022_837823821708325 Follow Accountability Lab 5d Lightbox link for post with description Rounding up our group of HackCorruption South ...
