The Constitutional Consolidation of Transparency (A Comparative Study)

Abstract

The principle of transparency means the need to inform people of the policy of the State, and how the power holders manage its joints. The goal is to eliminate the undeclared policies, or those that are characterized by ambiguity and opacity. The principle of transparency is tightly associated with the right to access to information, since this right can promote and support other rights. Through this right a suitable environment can be provided where the rights are respected and performed without any discrimination or marginalization on both individual or community level. In the absence of the appropriate environment, there would be corruption, tyranny and failure in achieving human development that is related to knowledge and freedom.
