Right to Access

The Right to Access refers to an individual’s ability to obtain information held by public bodies or institutions. This principle is rooted in the idea that transparency fosters accountability in government and other organizations. It allows citizens to request access to documents, records, and other data that may affect their rights or interests. While there may be exceptions for sensitive information, the overarching goal is to empower people to be informed and engaged in societal matters, enhancing democratic participation and promoting informed decision-making.
