Message from Ms Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, on the Occasion of the International Day for Universal Access to Information 教科文组织总干事伊琳娜·博科娃在“国际普遍获取信息日”的致辞 28 September 2016 2016年9月28日 Over two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote: “All human beings by nature desire to know.” 两千多年以前，亚里士多德写道：“人天生渴望知情”。 To know requires having access to information – this fundamental human right is part of what makes us human, it is essential for inclusion and dialogue, it is a foundation for the rule of law and good governance, and it is vital for crafting new paths to sustainable development. 知情，意味着获取信息。这是某种程度上决定着人之为人的一项基本权利，是宽容和对话所必需，是法治和善治的根基，是开辟通向可持续发展新道路的关键所在。 This is the message of the first International Day for Universal Access to Information, as decided by UNESCO Member States – this is why access to information is a key driver for taking forward the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, to promote the human rights and dignity, to eradicate poverty, to build inclusive knowledge societies. 这正是教科文组织根据会员国的决定发起第一个“国际普遍获取信息日”所要传递的讯息。因为获取信息，是推动实现《2030年可持续发展议程》、促进人权和尊严、消除贫困、 建设包容性知识社会的强大动力。 |
