Policy Recommendations

The document Recommendations on Access to Information (CP/CAJP-2599/08) presents on its section V 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 V provides policy recommendations to member states aimed at ensuring compliance with access to information obligations. This section also provides policy recommendations to the Organization of American States to assist member states in ensuring full compliance with this right and to set an example to the states and other international organizations in guaranteeing compliance with it.
