Promoting the accessibility and free flow of high-quality, evidence-based information is key to upholding the human rights of freedom of opinion and expression.

Recognising the need to develop their policy response in this field, OECD members have supported the creation of the Information Integrity Hub, through which the OECD collects evidence and facilitates the analysis of public policies aimed at strengthening the integrity of the information environment. The Hub functions as a peer-learning platform, enabling countries to exchange data and best practices.

This draft Recommendation builds on this work and is designed around three mutually reinforcing objectives focused on:

• Strengthening societal resilience
• Enhancing transparency, accountability, and plurality of information sources
• Upgrading institutional architecture and open government practices

The consultation period will begin on 8 November and run until 28 November 2024. Please ensure that your feedback reaches us before the deadline.

When responding, please state whether you are responding as an individual or representing the views of an organisation. If responding on behalf of a larger organisation, please make it clear who the organisation represents and, where applicable, how the views of members were assembled.

Inputs received will be considered public and may be published on the website, with your name, title and organisation. If you do not wish for this information to be shared on the website, please indicate this clearly in your email with submissions to GOVInfoIntegrity@oecd.org.

An OECD Recommendation is a legal instrument adopted by the OECD Council.
