The newsletter for Charter 99 supporters is called Global Citizen and is sent to all supporters by mail and email. Accountability makes decision-makers think twice. It makes them take account of their impact on other people's lives. Accountable decision-makers also involve people, because participation leads to better decisions.
Elections are one way of holding people to account.
What matters is rigorous public scrutiny of decisions, so that everyone knows who did what and why. Lack of accountability is a major weakness in all international organisations. Agreements are made, but there is no way of making sure they happen. Accountability is essential to make sure that agreements made by the Millennium Assembly and Summit are carried out. The best decisions in the world will make no difference if little happens as a result.
