In an era of globalization, where decision-making transcends national boundaries, it is crucial to recognize the importance of individual participation in shaping the international legal sphere. This recognition becomes even more critical in the 21st century, as we are faced with the need to respond to global challenges and emergencies that demand the collaboration of diverse actors. The inclusiveness of individuals and civil society -especially marginalized and vulnerable populations- is essential in addressing these issues effectively. However, the right to participation, enshrined in Article 25 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), has often been limited to the domestic level, overlooking its potential impact in the international sphere. In my argument, I emphasize the evolution of the right to participation enshrined in Article 25 (a) of the ICCPR, especially in light of the General Comment No. 25 issued by the Human Rights Committee. This evolution signifies a significant positive development for the global constitutionalism agenda, as it empowers individuals on the international stage. (Less)
