Access to information a key to “freedom from want”
In September 2005, leaders will gather together at a summit in New York to review the progress since millennium declaration, adopted by a member states in 2000.
In Larger Freedom is the title of a report of Secretary general of the UN to general assembly in coming September.
In this report you may find four main parts, freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom to live in dignity and strengthening the United Nations.
Good governance and combat corruption are the high ranked priorities for freedom from want; especially in the Middle East we have to find some internal and international mechanisms to achieve these goals.
I believe access to information is a basic right and fundamental principal to the freedom from want. Without access to information, we as people and civil society organizations can’t watch and collaborate for good governance and combat corruption.
