Implementation of human rights standards and international human rights mechanisms in the decision-making processes at all levels of public governance is generally acknowledged priority of the public management reforms in the post-soviet states. However, the congruence among human rights, good governance and economic development, in particular, at the local level, and relationship between human rights and Millennium Development Goals remain not properly understood and, thus, underexplored. This means that new and important issues, such as state failure or the links between social exclusion, discrimination and poverty are not studies at all either. Partly, this might be explained with higher priorities by international and national human rights organizations during the first decade of the reforms, who focused their efforts on adoption of human rights standards in the legislation of post-soviet countries and ratification of key international documents, e.g. European Convention on Human Rights, European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages, etc. At the same time, there has been growing understanding of the links among human rights, effective governance and economic development whereas such issues as justice, accountability, poverty reduction, employment, social inclusion, non-discrimination, public health, conflict prevention, women and children are fundamental concern of local development.

Human rights and development both aim to promote well-being and freedom, based on the inherent dignity and equality of all people. Applying human rights based approach to development will enable governments to enhance the effectiveness of their work through a focus on equality and non-discrimination, accountability, justice, and transparency as the core of human development.

Against the background of above points, the proposed Working Group is aimed at (1) in-depth analysis of how the values of human rights create conditions for effective governance and economic development in the post-soviet states; (2) introduction of good governance concept and human rights standards into local development programs; (3) providing clear policy-oriented recommendations of how to realize the potential of good governance for people-oriented economic development; and (4) contribution to research-led teaching in the area of good governance.

Thematically, the proposed Working Group will focus on: 1) public policies and strategies through which human rights strengthen efforts to achieve economic development goals; 2) specific case studies of good governance practice in CEE and the CIS countries, establishing the promotion of justice, accountability and transparency, generating public participation and responding to key challenges for human rights and economic development, such as corruption and violent conflict; 3) themed comparative analysis, covering possible areas of comparing national approaches in different spheres of developments and/or aspects of good governance in terms of the guidance they take from public policy and the role human rights play in policy formulation and implementation.
