The right to access information 2013, para. 75
- Paragraph text
- While reviewing multiple experiences that promote the right to access information, experts have developed some core principles to guide the design and implementation of relevant laws and practices. The same principles had been endorsed and presented to the Commission on Human Rights by the Special Rapporteur on the right to freedom of opinion and expression in 2000 and were further reflected in other declarations prepared by international mechanisms for promoting freedom of expression. The Special Rapporteur considers that these principles continue to represent a crucial tool for translating into practice the various human rights obligations concerning the right to information.

The right to access information 2013, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- The inclusion of vaguely defined or inappropriate exceptions in national laws on access to information is also a common obstacle that seriously compromises the impact of the instruments. Inappropriate exceptions include, for example, reference to the protection of good relations with other States and intergovernmental organizations. As mentioned above, the widespread and unspecified use of national security concerns as a reason for the denial of access to information is another common occurrence. Some laws explicitly exclude some public bodies from the ambit of national norms, preventing consideration of whether information pertaining to those bodies should be disclosed at all.

The right to access information 2013, para. 57
- Paragraph text
- The recurrent use of national security concerns as a justification for the denial of access to various types of information predicates a need to study carefully the promotion of confidentiality on such grounds. Widespread secrecy justified on national security grounds is particularly problematic in the context of investigations of human rights violations because it may represent one of the main obstacles to the clarification of responsibilities and consequences of serious violations, ultimately becoming a barrier to the promotion of justice and reparation.

The right to access information 2013, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- Although national security is a legitimate State concern, one of the main challenges faced when information is classified on national security grounds has frequently been the lack of transparency of the process as a whole. In cases of human rights violations, the situation may occur whereby those who decide to classify such information could belong or be linked to the entities allegedly responsible for the violations. The persistent denial of information on human rights violations potentially involving national security bodies often weakens public trust in these institutions, ultimately reversing the alleged justification for secrecy.
