via an electronic device, clearly identifying the information he/she seeks, and upon such request the public relation officer has the duty provide the information. In order to facilitate this process, federal public relations officers have received training on these directives. Furthermore, a mechanism for notification procedures for the media has been developed with the aim to make information equally available to the media. Another important step taken in relation to implementing the proclamation is the launching of awareness raising campaigns to create awareness on the right of access to information law. With this purpose, TV spots and programs, radio programs and news paper advertisements were launched and have brought about major changes in attitude. A baseline survey on the current status of the provision of information by the government was conducted in cooperation with the Justice and Legal Systems Research Institute. FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION (Article 10) AND FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY (Article 11) Constitutional Guarantee The FDRE Constitution provides that every person has the right to freedom of association for any cause or purpose, except in organizations formed in violation of appropriate laws, or to illegally subvert the constitutional order, or which promote activities that are prohibited. It also provides that everyone has the right to assemble and to demonstrate together with others peacefully and unarmed, and to petition. Appropriate regulations may be made in the interest of public convenience relating to the location of open-air meetings and the route of movement of demonstrators or, for the protection of democratic rights, public morality and peace during such a meeting or demonstration. It is, however, important to remember that this does not exempt organizers from liability under laws enacted to protect the well-being of youth or the honor and reputation of individuals, and laws prohibiting propaganda. Policy Measures The Democratic System Building Policy and the Rural and Agricultural Development Policy and Strategy (2001) constitute the key policy framework documents that seek to promote citizens right of freedom of association and assembly. 63
