declarations and conventions. The Universal Declaration on
Human Rights provides for the right of people to obtain and
permeate information by all means. The special rapporteur
of the United Nations Human Rights Council has declared
that human beings shall have the right to obtain, access and
permeate information, and hence this right obliges states to
secure access to information in due course of time. Despite
the importance of this principle, however these general
principles must be restricted in a manner commensurate
with the other principles and rules that regulate human
beings lives thus that principle will not be in conflict with
the cultures of other people and groups and their social and
national interests. In conservative societies, disclosure of
information about the family, family disputes and national
security matters may not be favorable, so international
organizations must observe particularities of different
nations and cultures; otherwise, declarations of western
organizations must not be considered as global standards or
super - constitutional conventions, but as something that is
subject to qualification/ limitation pursuant to each society’s
culture. Mankind will definitely benefit from exchange of
administrative, judicial and political experiences; yet no
certain nation/s should unilaterally set standards for other
nations to follow – this is likely to constitute a poor and
trivial setting of standards and will not be accepted by other
nations particularly when it comes from those who claim to
defend the values of equality, fraternity and justice.
