ARTICLE 19 protests United Nations Development Panel refusal to disclose information

ARTICLE 19 has sent a letter to the UNDP Public Information and Documentation Oversight Panel,protesting against its refusal, in its first ever decision, to provide any of the information requested. The decision effective renders the Policy a dead letter. (ARTICLE 19 is a human rights organisation with a specific mandate and focus on the defence and promotion of freedom of expression and freedom of information worldwide).
