Inter-American Program on Access to Public Information
In keeping with resolution AG/RES.
2727 (XLII-O/12), on April 11, 2013,the Department of
International Law submitted the
Preliminary Draft Inter-American Program on Access to Public Information
to the Permanent Council’s Committee on Juridical and Political Affairs
(CAJP). After the Committee considered and approved the draft, it was
referred to the General Assembly for its adoption.
The Program recognizes the vital
role of international legal instruments in the
promotion and protection of access to public information, as well as the
essential role of access to public information in electoral and
democratic processes; state governance,
transparency, and anticorruption efforts;
in the protection and promotion of human rights,
especially the right to freedom of thought and expression;
and in freedom of the press.
In addition, the Program both
underscores that the principle of maximum disclosure is
consubstantial with access to public information, and reaffirms the
importance of the Model Inter-American Law on Access to Public
Information in promoting access to public information.
The Program identifies concrete
steps that Member States of the Organization, the OAS General
Secretariat, and civil society and other social actors should take.
The resolution adopted by the
highest organ of the OAS also directed the Department of
International Law of the Secretariat for Legal Affairs to
coordinate the necessary actions for the full implementation of the
Program.
