co-responsible
Mutually bearing blame
Co-responsible means sharing responsibility with others.
The term appears in legal, political, and organizational contexts where accountability is distributed rather than assigned to a single party: Both departments are co-responsible for the project's success.
It emphasizes joint obligation—if something goes wrong, multiple parties bear the consequences together.
