Concentration of Public Power and Wealth in Hand of a Few People, lack of accountable in Front of Public and Lack of Transparency in Activities of Governors are between Most Important Roots of Corruption. So, Prevention of such a Concentration, Ability to Interpellation of Governors by Citizens and Transparency in activities of These People could Have Very Positive Effect on Fight against Corruption. But Providing the Mentioned Situations Rely Heavily on Realization of Public Participation in Political, Social, Economic and Cultural Affairs of Their Society and Its Tools such as Right to Elect and to be Elected, Powerful Civil Society and Free Access to Information.

Therefore, Internal Self-determination Became an Effective Approach for Fight against Corruption and Elimination of Its Substances and as a Result, as a Facilitator for access to Human Rights, Especially Right to Development
