The Mexico Freedom of Information Program

Press release: “In celebration of International Right to Know Day the National Security Archive’s Mexico Project is launching a new Web site dedicated to its Transparency and Freedom of Information Program. The Web site features a new publication on the week-long media initiative Mexico Abierto, which launched its first edition during the week of March 11-17 of this year. With our partners at the Consejo Ciudadano del Premio Nacional de Periodismo, we are now preparing for the second edition that will be celebrated in March 2008. The Web site also includes a multi-media section with pictures, news publications and video clips of forums and delegations in Mexico. The Archive’s Mexico Project has been actively involved in the movement for freedom of information rights in Mexico since 2001–a struggle which achieved its first success with the enactment of a landmark freedom of information statute in June 2002. The project supports the work of citizens’ groups promoting greater transparency, openness and accountability in government. To this end, the Archive works closely with scholars, lawyers, freedom of information activists, NGOs, human rights groups and the press to design strategies for advancing the people’s right to know in Mexico.”
