普遍获取信息国际日
第74届联合国大会于2019年10月宣布,将每年9月28日定为“普遍获取信息国际日”(IDUAI)。在此之前,联合国教科文组织大会2015年通过的第 38 C/57号决议已做出设置该国际日的决定,联合国决议进一步强调了信息获取的重要性。
联合国教科文组织为所有利益相关者提供了一个平台和框架,让他们就数字时代的信息获取政策进行讨论,从而赋予个人权力,实现知情决策,促进创新,并促进包容性和社会进步。

Access to Information... A universal right
On 17 November 2015, UNESCO adopted a resolution (38 C/70) declaring 28 September of every year as International Day for Universal Access to Information (IDUAI). Access to Information allows us to make informed decisions. Governments can be held accountable and corruption can be exposed. Only when countries can guarantee access to information for their citizens, press freedom and freedom of expression can grow. However, much work needs to be done to make true access to information a reality for everyone, everywhere. Together, we can make this possible; a world where we can all make informed decisions.
