Freedom of information: a comparative legal survey
This book on Freedom of Information by Toby Mendel helps to answer some these question by describing the international standards which have been established in this area and some of the key features of effective freedom of information legislation. importantly it illustrates the way in which ten countries and two international organitations have dealt with these difficult issues. an attempt has been made to ensure that all regions of the world are represented, with a focus on those countries with effective legal guarantees for the right to information. the two intergovernmental organisations - the united nations development programme (UNDP) and the world bank have been selected in part because of their longstanding policies on freedom of information and in part because of their leadership role in promoting this right among similiar intergovermental organisations. The goal of this new edition is to fuel the trend and encourage those who seek to defend and affirm these rights. Hopefully, this book will continue to serve as an important tool support the development of legislation that ensures freedom of information.
