Senate Human Rights Commission adopts the Right to Know

On 22 June the Human Rights Commission Italian Senate adopted a resolution urging the Italian government to work towards a full recognition of the “right to know”. The resolution comes as Italy and Europe grapple with a fresh wave of disinformation, in particular from Russia which is leading to efforts to protect democratic institutions. The resolution follows up on the recommendation issued by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe which also passed a similar resolution in June 2021 on media freedom, public trust and the peoples’ right to know.
