The Program on Law and Government’s Collaboration on Government Secrecy (“CGS”) at American University Washington College of Law presents a day of programs for International Right-to-Know-Day, Mon., Sept. 29, 2008.
In a development that barely could have been envisioned by the authors of the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) four decades ago, and with a force that has been accelerating around the globe, people in more than 70 nations of the world now enjoy the benefits of “government transparency” laws akin to the FOIA. In the United States, “Freedom of Information Day” is celebrated each year on March 16, the birthday of James Madison. Since 2002, the international transparency community has likewise celebrated annual “International Right-to-Know Day” on September 28, with similar programs and activities.Last year, WCL’s Collaboration on Government Secrecy (“CGS”) conducted the first-ever event held to commemorate this day in the United States. This year, its celebration of “International Right-to-Know Day” will be held on Monday September 29 and will be expanded to a full day of programs designed to recognize and promote the worldwide proliferation of government openness.
