The Right to Information: Good Law and Practice

Right2INFO.org brings together information on the legal frameworks for the right to information as well case law from more than 80 countries, organized and analyzed by topic. With a focus on good law and practice, the website  provides comparative overviews of, and country summaries illustrating, the current state of the right to information held by governments and bodies that perform public functions or operate with public funds. Experts from dozens of countries have contributed material and have indicated their willingness to correct, update and comment on the material posted. The Justice Initiative has organized and intends to maintain this website, and, together with Access Info Europe, will continue to collect, analyze and upload information.

The site is still under construction. We will be posting new sections over the coming months, and will also add pages in languages other than English. We have included links to documents in other languages, where available, on the pages under the Laws and Resources tabs in the top horizontal toolbar. New content will be featured on the front page of this website.
