At the request of the General Assembly, the Committee on Juridical and
Political Affairs of the Permanent Council has conducted three special
sessions on access to public information that were coordinated by the
Department of International Law.
The first two special sessions, taking place in
2006 and
2008, served to
promote, impart, and exchange experiences and knowledge with respect to
access to information and the relationship with citizen participation.
The third special session, held on December 13, 2010, served to
determine the effectiveness of the OAS’ activities in terms of access to
information and to plan their future work.
The special session included the participation of the Inter-American
Juridical Committee, the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression of
the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the Secretariat for
Juridical Affairs, the Department of International Law, and the
Secretariat for Political Affairs. Also in attendance were many experts
who participated in the drafting of the model law and implementation
guide, as well as civil society organizations dedicated to ensuring the
right of access to information in the continent, including The Carter
Center and the Regional Alliance for Access to Information and Freedom
of Expression and thirty-three civil society organizations registered
