Hi all, I am doing a research paper on the issue of the scope of definition of national security in FOI and secrecy laws and other instruments (eg regulations and orders). In some cases, these definitions are quite detailed, while in others they are rather general and it is left to courts to interpret them.
Please let me know if there are materials from your country that you think would be useful (in English, French or Spanish). I will of course circulate the paper to this list once it is complete. I am conscious that about a year ago I wrote asking for material on amendments to FOI laws, also promising to circulate the paper once final. It is now going through the final editorial process, so hopefully I will be able to send you all quite soon (and prove that I do keep my promises :) Thanks, Toby ___________________________________ Toby Mendel Executive Director Centre for Law and Democracy toby at law-democracy.org Tel: +1 902 431-3688 Fax: +1 902 431-3689 www.law-democracy.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
