The right of access to public information is a fundamental principle of democracy.

Today, Sweden marks the International Day for Universal Access to Information and celebrates 260 years of its Freedom of the Press Act. Free and independent media are necessary so that people have access to information about how their country is governed. Insight into the activities of those in power helps to build trust in democratic institutions and gives citizens the opportunity to make informed decisions in everyday life. A well-functioning democracy depends on this.

This year's UNESCO theme, "Upholding Information Integrity in the Digital Age: The role of access to Information in addressing Information Disorder", highlights the importance of transparency and the right of access to public information in a digital world where false and misleading content can spread rapidly.

Sweden stands up for free and independent media and everyone’s right to seek and receive information.

Today is the International Day of Peace. It was established by the UN General Assembly after all Member States voted to encourage 24 hours of ceasefire and non-violence every year on the same day.

This year, the UN highlights various ways to speak up and make efforts for a better world. The theme, “Invest in Peace - For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” highlights that peace begins with people and everyday actions, but also requires long-term commitment from leaders.

Sweden invests in peace by supporting locally anchored peace efforts. Swedish development assistance contributes to building more peaceful, inclusive, and resilient societies across the world.

Together, we act to create a more peaceful world for all.

What better way to mark than a meeting with the Director of OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR)?

While democracy and human rights face growing challenges, ODIHR's work in supporting the OSCE (OSCE – The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe) participating States remains more important than ever. From observing elections to help ensure they are free and fair, to strengthening the rule of law, monitoring fundamental freedoms, supporting human rights defenders, and combating human trafficking, ODIHR plays a vital role in advancing democracy and human rights across the OSCE region.

Thank you for today’s valuable discussion.

This week, Sweden’s new Permanent Representative to the OSCE – The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Ambassador Martin Hagström, presented his credentials to OSCE Secretary General Feridun H. Sinirlioğlu.

Ambassador Hagström is pleased to join the OSCE community in Vienna and to continue Sweden’s longstanding engagement in promoting respect for the OSCE's far-reaching commitments, at a time when these continue to be challenged in some participating States.

Sweden remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine and for efforts to ensure accountability for Russia’s aggression against the country.
