  • We review international sources about access and freedom information, as well as content of Latin-American constitutions. There are coincidences among researchers to determinate that the article 19 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a fundamental landmark in this kind of freedom. Since then have emerged a series of legal figures about public information access and freedom: habeas data, informative self-determination, public information access, public domain information, access and universal service and others. Since UDHR and how a new aspect, “intellectual freedom” has been configured as a new aspect which is considered a fundamental principle of Biblioteconomy and Documentation and has as basic elements privacy and confidentiality, egalitarian information access, which are very important in digital environment. We make an historical approximation of two pioneer institutions in the enunciation of intellectual freedom: American Library Association (ALA) and International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). Including a compared study of five Latin-American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Peru, it aims to show that there are three fundamental elements for intellectual freedom development (or to intellectual freedom can develop itself). The first element is government who promulgates laws and elaborate plans and policy of government, the second one are guilds and professional collectives which should include these principles in their ethic code or statute and finally, academic teaching must include in their course core intellectual freedom in its legal and ethical aspects.
