DOHA: A workshop held by Doha Centre for Media Freedom yesterday recommended adoption of a new law that guarantees the right to access information and publication.
A draft law is to be developed and adopted in collaboration with Qatar Lawyer’s Association and National Human Rights Committee.
The workshop also recommended that Arab League and Arab countries adopt legislation that guarantees the right to information and its publication, respect for the charter of ethics for media profession and dissemination of human rights culture.
Lack of access to available information is one of the challenges facing media which was the theme — ‘The right to access of information’ — of the workshop.
