közfelügyeletet

Közfelügyelet is a Hungarian term that translates to "public oversight" or "public supervision." It refers to the mechanisms and processes by which public authorities, institutions, or organizations are subject to scrutiny and accountability from the public, the media, or other independent bodies. The primary aim of közfelügyelet is to ensure transparency, legality, and efficiency in the functioning of public entities and to prevent corruption and abuse of power.

This concept encompasses various forms of oversight, including parliamentary control, judicial review, the activities of ombudsman offices, and the role of civil society organizations and the press in monitoring public affairs. It is a fundamental principle of good governance and democratic accountability. Public access to information, freedom of the press, and the right to petition are all integral components that facilitate effective közfelügyelet. The ultimate goal is to foster public trust and confidence in governmental and public institutions by making their operations open to inspection and their decision-making processes understandable and justifiable.
