In recent decades, the concept of “good governance” has gained prominence as a cornerstone of sustainable development, human dignity, and the realization of democracy within international law discourse. Emphasizing principles such as transparency, accountability, justice, participation, and the rule of law, this concept is not merely an administrative tool but a legal mechanism for ensuring the fundamental rights of citizens. This article aims to examine the legal status of the “right to good governance” under international law by analyzing relevant documents and practices, with a particular focus on two key components: transparency and anti-corruption. These two dimensions serve as essential prerequisites for the realization of other governance indicators, playing a vital role in controlling power, strengthening public trust, and enhancing the legitimacy of governments. The research adopts a descriptive–analytical methodology, drawing on legal instruments such as the UN Code of Conduct for Public Officials, anti-corruption declarations, the Palermo Convention, and the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). Findings indicate that although the phrase “right to good governance” has not been explicitly institutionalized in binding international texts, it can be conceptualized as an emerging right—derivative of and interconnected with other fundamental human rights—through systematic interpretation of core principles such as access to information, justice, and state responsibility. In light of this analysis, the persistent gap between states’ international commitments and domestic implementation represents a critical challenge—particularly in developing countries—highlighting the urgent need to reform oversight structures, enhance institutional transparency, and institutionalize the right to public access to information.
