Inter-American Model Law on Access to Public Information (2010)
In June 2009, the OAS General
Assembly directed the Department of International Law to prepare a draft
Model Law on Access to Public Information, with the participation of
organs, agencies, and entities of the OAS, Member States, and civil
society organizations, with a view to providing the necessary legal
framework to guarantee citizen participation in a democratic system,
strengthen accountability and public trust in government institutions
and guarantee human rights.
This mandate of the General
Assembly entrusted the Department of International Law to coordinate the
drafting of the Model Law and its Implementation Guide, with the support
of a group of experts that met for a year to discuss, edit and finalize
these documents.
The final versions of the two
instruments were approved by the group of experts in March 2010 and
forwarded by the Department of International Law to the political organs
of the Organization in April 2010. During its 40th regular session, held
in June 2010, the General Assembly approved the resolution on the Model
Law and instructed the General Secretariat, through the Department of
International Law, to provide support to Member States that requested
the design, execution and evaluation of their regulations and policies
on access to public information.
