Right of Access to Public Documents in France
2018
“Freedom of information is a fundamental human right and […] the touchstone of all freedoms to which the United Nations is consecrated”. Its practical application underpins two distinctive principles of a democratic republican system of government: the publicity of acts and the transparency of public administration. In this context, information is a tool of democratic control over State institutions, intimately linked to the concept of participatory democracy and the respect for fundamental rights.
