Asignatura pendiente: los archivos públicos y el derecho constitucional de acceso a la información

Abstract

In this article we argue that public records management is closely related with accountability. That link states that good administration in public archives is a necessary condition for the materialization of constitutional right to public information (the right to know). In Mexico, transparency and the right to access government information have not been understood as superior phases of archive management. Thus, the management of public records has an institutional gap that requires an intensive reform to build an institutional-organizational framework suitable to Mexican laws on transparency and public information
