الحق في الوصول إلى المعلومات في مجال البيئة بين التكريس التشريعي و الانتفاع الفعلي

الملخص EN

All international instruments affirm that the right to access information is a fundamental human right and is an integral part of the right to freedom of expression.

Freedom of expression and freedom of access to information are a tool to improve transparency and reduce corruption, and to involve citizens in the decision-making process affecting their lives and their environment, as the contribution of individuals to environmental protection can only be enabled by adding transparency to the activity of environmental management and guaranteeing the right to information and access to information.

All data and information related to the state of the environment away from the atmosphere of blackout, marginalization and exclusion.

Although the Algerian legislator has stipulated the right of individuals to access information, it has not provided for clear guarantees to guarantee this right, or a punitive action against those who block information or prevent its circulation.

As the observation that is raised about the environmental media in Algeria is the blatant lack of information provided by the administration, and the reason is the administration's withholding of information on the one hand, and the real inability of the central bodies with regard to data directed to the public on the other hand.
