Freedom of information forms the foundation of a healthy democracy. In order for effective democratic participation to be possible, citizens must have access to public information. Citizens must have the opportunity to review laws and government policies in order to make an informed decision when it comes to elections, or in order to stage protest where a government is not fulfilling its role. In the context of Cambodia, a country transitioning to democracy, freedom of information and a culture of transparency are paramount.
