Today, September 28, 2026, marks the observance of the International Day for Universal Access to Information. Established by the United Nations, this day underscores the fundamental #human right to seek, receive, and impart information, recognizing it as an essential pillar of sustainable development, democratic governance, and the #protection of human rights.
In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, equitable access to reliable information is not merely a convenience, but a #necessity for informed civic participation and effective institutional transparency. As we navigate the ongoing digital transformation, it is imperative that governments, civil society, and the private sector collaborate to bridge the digital divide, ensuring that marginalized and vulnerable populations are not left behind.
On this day, we reaffirm our collective commitment to fostering open, inclusive, and transparent societies. By safeguarding the right to information, we empower individuals to make informed decisions, hold institutions accountable, and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Do you have access to the right information?
