28th September, the International Day for the Universal Access to Information

Upon the initiative of the international non-governmental organizations, this date has been celebrated as the day of the public’s right to know (“Right to Know Day”) since 2002. UNESCO now adopted special resolution by which it invites all Member States, international, regional and non-governmental organizations, as well as individuals, to properly mark the day which emphasizes the importance of the access to information. Transparency International BiH welcomes the decision brought by UNESCO as this is a way to directly raise the global awareness about the importance of transparency and unobstructed access to information.
