NNA - Caretaker Minister of Information, Dr. Manal Abdel Samad Najd, on Friday told a show aired on Radio Lebanon that the Ministry of Information's virtual conference on "The Role of the Media in Achieving Human Rights" coincides with the International Anti-Corruption Day, and the International Human Rights Day.
"We wanted today's event to coincide with these two days, especially marking the issuance of the 'Right to Information' bill's implementation decree on September 8, 2020. There is no longer any valid justification for stalling the implementation of this law, which was issued back in 2017 and has not been applied since that date," the Minister explained, adding that today's event will mainly broach the protection of human rights within Article 19 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
