Aprontes de Chile para Río +20
El Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Chile informa en una columna en el Diario El Mercurio del 9 de mayo, pg. A-2, el compromiso del gobierno chileno de impulsar un acuerdo regional entre los países de América Latina y El Caribe, en orden a promover y garantizar los derechos de acceso a la información, a la participación ciudadana y a la justicia en temas ambientales.
Hungary will join the OGP
It was a bit more that 7 months ago when EMLA, HCLU Hungary, TI Hungary, K-Monitor (acticorruption) and Ecological Partnership Hungary together sent a message to the Minister of Administration and Justice of Hungary in order to stimulate government decision-making to join OGP. And it was yesterday, 9 May 2012 when the Ministry invited the above NGOs to present their ideas and participate in the process of formulating the OGP commitments of Hungary. We consider it a success and a good example of government-NGO cooperation.
