right2knowOn the occasion of International Right to Know Day, we are pleased to announce our new partnership with Right2Info, an initiative of the Open Society Justice Initiative. For the last several years, the Right2Info platform has offered jurisprudence and legal resources on the right to information from around the world.  As part of our partnership, 150 analyses currently hosted on Right2Info.org will be revised and adapted for  Global Freedom of Expression Database. These cases will greatly enhance Columbia database by ensuring that the global jurisprudence on the right to information is well included. We are grateful for the partnership with Right2Info which is bringing us closer to a unified resource on all aspects of the right to freedom of expression and information globally.
