integral concepts in modern democracies. Since the last decade of
the last century, there has been an unstoppable global trend towards
the recognition of right to information or knowledge and freedom
of speech or expression among the people of all countries and inter-governmental

the responsiveness of the government to the needs of the community.
The right to information has been recognized as fundamental human
rights, which upholds the dignity of all human being.
