Freedom of Information (FOI), or the right to information, can be defined as the right to access information held by public bodies. It is an integral part of the fundamental right of freedom of expression, as recognised by Resolution 59 of the UN General Assembly adopted in 1946, as well as by Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948).

It has also been enshrined as a corollary of the basic human right of freedom of expression in other major international instruments, including the the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966) and the American Convention on Human Rights (1969) Over the past 10 years, the right to information has been recognized by an increasing number of countries, including developing ones, through the adoption of a wave of FOI laws.
