| Description | The territorial self-governing units and their bodies are the largest group of the so-called legal persons under obligation which have a duty to enable free access to information within their power. In his paper the author analyzed first of all theoretical issues resulting from the general approach to right to information and then he also focused on right to information from the viewpoint of constitutional law, i.e. the issues for which there is not enough time and energy when dealing with day-to-day problems of public administration. The author points out, among others, legal properties of right to information as a right to be informed and to disseminate the information which include inalienability, imprescriptibility and indefeasibility. Last but not least, he also points out another property of right to information as a constitutional right i.e. the possibility of its direct application or the so-called self-performability from which it follows, among others, that even before the Act No 106/1999 Coll. On Free Access to Information or the Act No 123/1998 coll. On Information About Environment became valid and effective the public administration of the Czech Republic had already been obliged to provide required information. |
