Information is a right. Access matters.
Today, 28 September, marks the International Day for Universal Access to Information, highlighting the importance of everyone’s right to seek, receive and share information.
Access to reliable and timely information is essential for informed decision-making, transparency, accountability and meaningful participation in society. It also plays an important role in strengthening media freedom and supporting an informed public.
In an increasingly digital world, ensuring that people can access trustworthy information is more important than ever. Everyone should have the opportunity to access information without unnecessary barriers.
Media Law Forum reaffirms the importance of protecting the right to information and promoting an open, informed and inclusive society.
