International Right to Know Day is observed worldwide every September 28. This observance aims to promote public awareness of the right to access governmental information, which is recognized as a fundamental political and personal right in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The idea for this day originated from a meeting of freedom of information organizations in Sofia, Bulgaria, on September 28, 2002. Since then, various activities are organized by activists, including conferences, trainings, competitions, award ceremonies, music concerts, performances, and the launch of informational campaigns and specialized websites. These events are designed to highlight the importance of the right to information and the role it plays in fostering open government.
