The "Right to Know" refers to the legal principle that individuals have the right to access information held by government agencies. This concept is often associated with transparency and accountability, ensuring that citizens can obtain information about public policies, decisions, and actions that affect their lives. It empowers people to make informed choices and participate actively in democracy. In many countries, the "Right to Know" is protected by laws such as the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in the United States. These laws allow citizens to request documents and data, promoting openness and helping to prevent corruption by holding public officials accountable for their actions.
