Legislative
Recommendations
The document Recommendations on Access to Information
(CP/CAJP-2599/08) presents on its section VI the
recommendations needed for the States, the OAS, and other
actors to move forward in faithful compliance with the
promotion and protection of this right.
General Assembly Resolution
AG/RES. 2288 (XXXVII O/07) on
Access to Public Information and Strengthening Democracy
instructs the Department of International Law to prepare
recommendations on access to information with the input of
OAS organs and civil society.
In compliance with this mandate, section VI provides a set
of general legislative recommendations for member states and
international organizations, including the OAS, to consider
in the development of a legal framework on access to
information. The intent of this section is not to provide
legislative text, but only a general overview of the
elements recommended for inclusion in an access to
information law.
Finally, the second annex of the study contains the text of
the Declaration of Atlanta and Plan of Action for the
Advancement of the Right of Access to Information, which is
an important source of recommendations for this study.
