Globe International, a Mongolian NGO completed the two-month project entitled “Information Law Advocacy” started in February 20, 2011 under the funding of the Embassy of Great Britain and North Ireland in Mongolia.

Over the last year, the at least six draft laws including Law on the Right to Access Information, Law on Information Security, Law on the Amendment to the Media Freedom Law, Law on the Mass Media, Data Protection Law, new version of State Secrecy Law have been prepared by working groups of different public institutions and all have definition of information and similar principles. We launched this project to coordinate the works of the different working groups established at various public institutions and to meet the needs to have a common understanding and one definition of the concepts.

No similar works have been done by others. Working groups have organised some consultative meetings separately, but no joint discussions carried out.

The overall goal of the project was to raise awareness of law makers and educate lawyers on the information law thus contributing the proper information legislation.
The project targeted to the law makers, entire public and decision-makers.

The project carried out the following three inter-related activities:
- Produce analysis on the existing drafts by Experts’ Team. Organize Law Draft Working Groups’ Joint Meeting
- Case study on civil and criminal defamation heard by the Mongolian courts in 2009 and 2010. 
- Update of media law menu at Globe International website.
