حق المواطن في الوصول إلى المعلومات

Abstract

Access to information held by public institutions is one of the rights of the citizen, as he is the stakeholder in this information, with the aim of strengthening participatory democracy and monitoring the extent of respect for human rights, as well as everyone’s contribution to development. This right has been recognized by all global and regional organizations, the most important of which is the United Nations and all human rights organizations, which prompted all civilized countries to clarify this right and enshrine it in their constitutions and internal laws. This right is based on many principles, perhaps the most important of which is the principle of the maximum disclosure of information, especially those related to human rights, the environment, and others. The limits of disclosure should not be narrowed in the context of an extreme necessity that calls for this to be precisely determined according to specific standards. Only this trust prevails between institutions The public and the people.
