Overview
Critical for understanding governance, rule of law, fundamental rights, internal security challenges, and the need for police reforms to ensure a democratic and rights-respecting state.
Police accountability refers to the mechanisms and processes by which police officers and forces are held responsible for their actions, particularly concerning the use of force, adherence to legal procedures, and protection of citizens' rights. The use of force by law enforcement must always be necessary, proportionate, and in accordance with established protocols and human rights standards.
