Abstract
In this article, the documents on the right of a person to receive information and their brief analysis are cited. A person’s right to information is recognized as one of the components of the human rights system. Access to information is important for ensuring human rights and is one of the important features of democratic states. The issue of a person’s right to information, as well as the general issues of information-legal relations, has scientific novelty and is just taking its place in the field of local law. The interest of the legislative body in the problem of the right to information is increasing. Today, legislative work in this direction is actively being carried out. In particular, the Information and Mass Communications Agency under the Administration of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan put the draft “Information Code” for public discussion. In this regard, a detailed study of the concept and legal essence of the right to information, its types, and its place in legal relations is gaining importance today.
