Practice of the Judicial Defense of the Right of Access to Information
2010-March-05 Introduction:
the right of access to information and the necessity of the judicial defense Every person has the right to seek and receive information. The right of access to information is defined both in the RA Constitution and the RA "Law on Freedom of Information", as well as in the international legal acts ratified by the Republic of Armenia. The right of access to information is one of the basic human rights. It ensures the realization of other human rights, thus, the violation of this right may result in the violation of the others.
