The Council for Transparency (CPLT) of Chile, which this year celebrates its 15th anniversary, is an autonomous corporation in public law, with its own legal personality, whose main task is to ensure the proper compliance with the Law on Transparency of the Public Service and Access to Information of the State Administration, promulgated on August 20, 2008 and which entered into force on April 20, 2009. To this end, among other actions, it monitors public agencies, resolves complaints when people feel that their right to access information has been violated and promotes awareness in the public sector and among citizens about the importance of transparency and the right to access public information.
