Access to information is a fundamental human right, as recognized by the
Inter-American Court of Human Rights in Claude Reyes v. Chile. The Court
held that Article 13 of the American Convention on Human Rights
guaranteeing the right to freedom of thought and expression “includes
‘not only the right and freedom to express one’s own thoughts, but also
the right and freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas
of all kinds.
Likewise, Article 19 of the International Covenant of Civil and
Political Rights establishes that the right to freedom of expression
includes the right to seek, receive, and disseminate information.
Article IV of the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man
recognizes that every person has the right to freedom of investigation,
of opinion, and of the expression and dissemination of ideas by any
medium whatsoever.
Article 13 of the American Convention on Human Rights also protects the
right and freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of
all kinds. Finally, the 2001 Declaration of Principles on Freedom of
Expression of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights echoes this
right to access public information and once again underlines that access
to information held by the state is a fundamental right of every
individual.
