Theoretical and Legal Basis of Accountability in the Activities of Executive Bodies
Abstract
This article analyzes the theoretical and legal foundations of accountability in the activities of the executive branch. A key tenet of governance is accountability, which holds public servants accountable for their deeds and choices. This study looks at the several theoretical stances that define responsibility, such as legal, ethical, and moral perspectives. Additionally, it examines current legislative frameworks and standards that control executive bodies' responsibility, emphasizing the connection between legal requirements and real-world application. It also evaluates how national laws and international accountability norms interact. The ultimate goal of this research is to promote democratic governance and public trust by adding to the conversation on improving the efficacy of accountability mechanisms in executive activities.
