Description |
- International Right to Know Day began on September 28,
2002, when freedom of information organizations from around
the world came together in Sofia, Bulgaria and created the
FOI Advocates Network, a global coalition working together
to promote the right of access to information for all people
and the benefits of open, transparent, and accountable
governments.
- The members of the Network decided to commemorate this
day as a way to share ideas, strategies, and success stories
about the development of freedom of information laws and
genuinely transparent governance in their own nations.
- Freedominfo.org and its host, the National Security
Archive, were among the founding members of the FOI
Advocates Network. International Right to Know Day Events
