UNIC supports the requirement of the public and businesses to open registers and renew access to public information

UNIC supports the requirement of the public and businesses to open registers and renew access to public information.

Access to public data was closed with the beginning of a full-scale invasion of Russia for security reasons. However, the analysis shows that not all data require concealment. Such policy has significantly worsened the transparency of state and local self-government bodies, and citizens have lost their prompt access to open data, which is of considerable public interest.

UNIC requires transparency from the authorities since the closedness of state registers, and the lack of access to socially important data leads to corruption, lack of accountability and responsibility, and, most importantly, the loss of trust in key state institutions.

In the face of war, this has devastating consequences because the war did not become an obstacle for corruption, and the closedness of public information has created only the basis for its spread.
