Right to Information

   

Information Commissions

RTI laws in some countries provide for the setting up of an Information Commission as the ultimate appellate and oversight body overseeing implementation and oversight of the law. The world over, there are different models of Information Commissions exist, but in general they have similar functions to act as external independent authorities with a mandate to supervise implementation of the right to information.
