Compendium on Human Rights of Armed Forces Personnel: The role of commanders and individual accountability
All commanders play a central role in upholding the rule of law and respect for human rights in the armed forces. A leadership style is needed that builds trust among personnel while ensuring individual accountability. The principle of individual accountability underpins respect for human rights, and promotes responsible behaviour by each member of the armed forces.
