The DR has been ranked above average in the Americas in online access to information that has been developed for the courts and public prosecutor's offices, according to a newly released study by the Justice Studies Center of the Americas of the Organization of American States (JSCA).
The DR was ranked 9th of 34 countries in the Americas in Online Access to Information (The Courts) and 10th in Online Access to Information developed for Public Prosecutors. It was 12th in Overall Online Access to Judicial Information.
The JSCA explains the effort given the important role that the Internet plays in facilitating access to all kinds of information. "This is particularly important for public institutions that play an important role in promoting democratic coexistence and that are legally obliged to provide citizens with all the information that is available on their work.
With the publishing of the Index of Online Access to Judicial Information, JSCA explains that it seeks to reaffirm its mission to generate increased connectivity among the judicial systems of the 34 countries of the Americas by encouraging those who manage these systems to take full advantage of new information technologies.
