Declassification

Declassification is the process of officially removing the classified status from information that was previously deemed sensitive or secret. This can occur when the information is no longer considered a threat to national security or when it is deemed necessary to disclose it for public interest, transparency, or research. The declassification process typically involves reviewing the material to ensure that it no longer contains sensitive details. Once declassified, the information can be shared with the public, making it accessible for historical records, oversight, or educational purposes.
