International Day for Universal Access to Information 2025
International Day for Universal Access to Information: Transparency Strengthens Democracy.
Every society that aspires to true democratic governance must uphold one principle above all: the people’s right to know. Yesterday, we marked the Access to Information Day – a moment to remember that transparency is not a luxury but a necessity.
Openness builds trust. With the availability of public information, people can raise the right questions, make correct decisions, and hold leaders accountable.
At IRIAD -The Electoral Hub, we believe in the right of the people to know as access to information is critical to democracy.This year’s theme “Ensuring Access to Environmental Information in the Digital Age” highlights the importance of timely, comprehensive and cross-border access to environmental information in an increasingly digital world.
