Pursuant to the mandates of both operative paragraph 13.a of
resolution
AG/RES. 2288-07 on Access to Information and of the Committee on
Juridical and Political Affairs of the Permanent Council, the Department
of International Law invited the Trust for the Americas, a not for
profit affiliate of the Organization of American States, and the
“Alianza Regional para Libertad de Expresión y Acceso a la Información”,
under the coordination of the former, to participate in a series of
preparatory meetings for the study on Recommendations about Access to
Information, Document CP/CAJP-2599/08, and asked them to elaborate a
complementary document related to the Questionnaire “Legislation on and
Best Practices of Access to Public Information of the Commission on
Juridical and Political Affairs”, Document
CP/CAJP-2548/07
rev. 1.
To do so, the International Law Department through the CAJP asked
Member States to answer the questionnaire that was developed by the CAJP
to compile the legislation and explore the practices of States in the
topic of Access to Information. The Trust for the Americas, on its side,
convened the Civil Society Organizations, members of the “Alianza
Regional por la Libertad de Expresión e Información” knowledgeable on
the field of Access to Information in the region, to answer the same
questionnaire.
As a result, the Trust for the Americas produced a Complementary
Report to the document
CP/CAJP-2599/08 called Report on the Questionnaire on Legislation
and Best Practices about Access to Public Information, document
CP/CAJP-2608/08, with the purpose of identifying some practices of
States in the topic of Access to Information.
The Report compiles the answers to the questionnaire presented by the
CAJP and it contains the following elements: 1) Questionnaire of the
CAJP, 2) Table summarizing the answers by the States to the
questionnaire and related documents, 3) Introduction to the Civil
Society’s answers to the questionnaire, Table summarizing those answers
and related documents and 4) Recommendations from Civil Society
Organizations.
