The Cambodian Draft Law on Access to Information (the "Draft Law") marks a positive step towards the comprehensive protection of the right to freedom of information in Cambodia. ARTICLE 19 welcomes what is clearly a serious attempt to meet international and comparative standards, with a number of provisions offering the region a fine model of how Right to Information (RTI) legislation can be effectively formulated: a public interest test, for example, and provisions on proactive disclosure and the protection of whistleblowers.
