Week 8 | Right to information
Right to information is a fundamental human right. It is included in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers” which makes it obligatory for states to provide it. In many countries, including Pakistan, it is also a constitutional right.
