International Accountability Mechanism

An International Accountability Mechanism is a system designed to ensure organizations and institutions are responsible for their actions, especially in complex situations like conflicts or humanitarian work. It investigates complaints, addresses misconduct, and promotes transparency and fairness. These mechanisms help hold powerful entities accountable when they violate rules or harm people, fostering trust and integrity across borders. They operate independently from governments and organizations to provide oversight, support victims, and improve practices, ensuring ethical standards are upheld globally.
