Governments have been called on to enact laws guaranteeing the right to information. Participants of World Press Freedom Day on Monday adopted the Brisbane Declaration.
The declaration calls on UNESCO member states "to enact legislation guaranteeing the right to information in accordance with the internationally-recognised principle of maximum disclosure".
It also demands that media companies to raise awareness of freedom of expression and the right to information, and for UNESCO to aid the development and implementation of new laws. |
