Des-contextualización del derecho de acceso a la información pública por la jurisprudencia constitucional chilena. Comentarios a la Sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional Rol 7425-19-INA de 19 de diciembre 2019

Abstract

: The present commentary analyzes a judgment of the Constitutional Court that declared the inapplicability of Articles 5 and 10 of Law 20.285 on access to public information, as well as Article 31 bis of law No. 19.300 on general environmental. This ruling, as detailed in the analysis below, reproduces controversial aspects that create barriers to the effective exercise of the right of access to public information and decontextualizes the principle of transparency of the public function of the InterAmerican human rights standards.
