A/HRC/43/34 47. The same stakeholders and the private sector should share best practices in using new technologies to advance good governance while bearing in mind the risks that such technologies could pose to privacy rights. 48. In order to secure effective governance for sustainable development, the following 11 principles, endorsed by the Economic and Social Council, should be integrated into all strategies operationalizing responsive and effective governance: (a) under the category of effectiveness, competence, sound policy-making and collaboration; (b) under the category of accountability, integrity, transparency and independent oversight; and (c) under the category of inclusiveness, leaving no one behind, non-discrimination, participation, subsidiarity and intergenerational equity. 49. States should conduct human rights impact assessments, including genderbased analyses to help embed a human rights and gender lens in government decisionmaking and structural reforms. 50. States should bear in mind that innovation in good governance often began at the local level, and should identify and share good practices. Action at the local level would be critical to effectively target those furthest behind. 51. Robust anti-corruption strategies must be integrated into all good governance initiatives. 52. States should integrate human rights principles and obligations into all stages of their budgeting cycles: formulation, approval, execution, evaluation and audit. 9
