Abstract

The purpose of this article is to address the problem of access to public information, as a fundamental right of the citizen that must be applied as a general rule of behavior by public administration entities, in exceptional cases of restriction of the delivery of information. This information, due to exceptional situations provided for by the applicable regulations (constitution or law), based on the damage or affectation that its eventual delivery could cause to the public interest, translated in the specific case to notions such as national security, personal privacy, operation of public entities, or certain situations expressly provided for by law). One of these exception cases provided for by Peruvian regulations (Lay N° 27785) is the application of the Control Reserve Principle that guides the exercise of governmental control, establishing the prohibition that during the execution of control, information that may cause harm to the entity, its personnel is revealed. or to the System, or hinder the latter’s task. (Law No. 27785. Organic Law of the National Control System and the Comptroller General of the Republic of July 22, 2002). The present investigation resorts to the analysis of Comparative Law through the study of the legislation of Colombia, Chile and Ecuador, to extract common points and contributions for the better regulation of this matter in Perú.
