African parliamentarians support equitable access for all
Representatives from 29 different African parliaments met last week in Kigali to reaffirm that “equitable access to information is a right for all” and urge governments to enact laws that promote access to information, knowledge and communication for all citizens.

The charter has just been translated into its twentieth language, Esperanto.
