The right to information is a human right as derogable right. Fulfilment of the right to information often leads to information disputes with Information and Documentation Management Officer (IDMO) as administrative officials who are given the task of managing information and documentation. Information dispute resolution becomes important to be resolved immediately because it is related to fulfilling a sense of justice and fulfilling the right to information for the community. The Establishment of the Government Administration Act (GA Act) causes the dualism of information dispute resolution. Article 53 of the GA Act will be the basis for resolving information disputes in the administrative court domain, while the Public Information Officer/PIO Act is the basis for resolving information disputes within the Information Commission domain. This dualism needs to be resolved to ensure legal certainty for the government and society as Justicia Belen. The development of dispute resolution reconstruction of information is conducted by strengthening information dispute resolution in non-litigation. Ideal information dispute resolution should be resolved first through administrative remedies (objections and administrative appeals) and through the Information Commission. The court becomes the ultimum remedium in resolving a dispute. Therefore, strengthening the Information Commission in terms of development, finance and authority is one way to strengthen the resolution of information disputes outside the court.

The Right to Information Act 2005 was passed by the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) Government with a sense of pride. It flaunted the Act as a milestone in India’s democratic journey. It is five years since the RTI was passed; the performance on the implementation frontis far from perfect. Consequently, the impact on the attitude, mindset and behaviour patterns of the public authorities and the people is not as it was expected to be. Most of the people are still not aware of their newly acquired power. Among those who are aware, a major chunk either does not know how to wield it or lacks the guts and gumption to invoke the RTI. A little more stimulation by the Government, NGOs and other enlightened and empowered citizens can augment the benefits of this Act manifold. RTI will help not only in mitigating corruption in public life but also in alleviating poverty- the two monstrous maladies of India.

Right-based approach to governance became popular in India in the first decade of present century with the passage of legislations conferring Right to Information, Right to Work in rural areas, and Right to Primary Education upon its citizens. This article examines the next step in that direction—passage of Right to Service (RTS) Acts by a number of Indian States thereby providing its citizens the right to time-bound delivery of notified public services. These Acts not only empower citizens to make claims against the government if the rights are violated but also serve as a tool for the politicians and the senior bureaucrats to control lower bureaucracy. This article traces the genealogy of RTS Acts in Citizen’s Charter movement of the1990s in the UK and evaluates their progress and results with the help of various theories and concepts used for improving the public service delivery. How inept implementation has thwarted the promise of accountability inherent in these Acts will be seen in detail while piercing the veil of statistical data.

Indonesia as the largest country in ASEAN with more than 240 million population in 500 cities and 17 thousand islands, needs various efforts in conducting the 2015 ASEAN Community socialization. Effective socialization cannot only rely on conventional methods as previously carried out by agencies related to socialization through seminars to local governments, universities, schools, and other public organizations, as well as the installation of banners and billboards in public places. To support socialization to be more effective and efficient, it can be helped by using mass media, especially online media. Online media is chosen related to the development of ICT and public connectivity, which generally can access news via the internet or gadgets that are owned. The lag behind the public information about the implementation of the 2015 ASEAN Community in December 2015 cannot be separated from geographical, demographic, and information dissemination that is less equitable from the relevant agencies. This phenomenon is an obstacle in the readiness to implement the ASEAN Community. While the readiness of the government and the public is expected to be able to compete with other ASEAN member countries regarding the era of competition that will be implemented. PKM activities with the theme "Socialization and Training of Access to Information on ASEAN Community through New Media by New Students in Bhakti Luhur Ciputat Special School" in June 2016 were intended to increase their knowledge and insight. This is because many of them do not know the information related to the ASEAN program or agenda, especially those related to free competition by ASEAN Community which has begun this year. Students who have limitations (physical or mental) also have the right to get information related to ASEAN Community so that they are more motivated to equip themselves with knowledge and skills to be independent and compete in the upcoming ASEAN Community era.

The Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, provides for the Constitution of the State Information Commissions (SICs) and the Central Information Commission (CICs) for acting as the final appellate authorities. These Information Commissions have been entrusted with statutory powers while hearing complaints and appeals. These Commissions also enjoy the power to impose penalty and to recommend disciplinary action against the public information officers. Besides, there prevails large-scale confusion in them regarding the contents of Sections 18–20. This has culminated in adverse comments on their decisions by the Supreme Court (SC) and the High Courts (HC). An attempt is being made in this article to evaluate the functioning of these commissions and also about the interpretations given by various High Courts (HCs) and the Supreme Court (SC) about the Constitution, transaction of business and powers of the Information Commissions.

The subject matter of the commentary focuses on the issue of the functional and grammatical interpretation of the notion of ‘a person perform-ing a public function’, which, in the author’s opinion, does not directly refer to the public offi cer referred to in Article 115(13) of the Act of 6 June 1997 Penal Code. The author highlights the unjustifi ed perception of a person performing a public function by the Polish justice system as being viewed as a public offi cer as defi ned in Article 115(13) of the Penal Code. The main arguments focus on the risks arising from an overly broad in-terpretation of the concept of a person performing a public function. In fact, the lack of a defi ned set of persons performing public functions may give rise to a malfunction on the part of the entity obliged to make public informa-tion available, and thus to the constitutional principle of limiting the right to public information on the grounds of privacy.The fi nal part of the commentary is a refl ection on making public infor-mation available under the provisions of the Act of 15 July 2011 on Control in Government Administration, and a starting point for a broader discussion on the need to amend the current legal system.
