Explanatory document on the right to know presented

In a press conference called on Thursday 25 May at the headqarters of the Nonviolent Radical Party trasnational and transparty, Amb. Giulio Terzi, Paolo Reale, Laura Harth and Matteo Angioli presented the explanatory document setting out the concept definition of the right to know. The final document had been published earlier on 12 May 2017 for the Conference “Information and public debate” held in the Senate.

The study was produced by the Scientific board of the Global Committee for the Rule of Law “Marco Pannella”, which is chaired by Prof. Em. Cherif Bassiouni and coordinated by Laura Harth. The 36-page document provides the legal and political foundations to carry on the campaign for the transition towards the rule of law at the United Nations through the recognition of the universal human right to know.

The full document and the executive summary are both available in English and Italian in the section “Library” of this website. You can also watch the video of the presso conference (in Italian only) thanks to Radio Radicale.
