Freedom of information is a fundamental right that ensures transparency and accountability in a democratic society. However, in times of war, governments often impose legal restrictions on access to public information to protect national security and maintain public order. This article examines the balance between freedom of information and state security in Ukraine under martial law. It analyzes the legal framework governing access to public information and the limitations introduced during wartime.

The paper examines the issue of transparency as a tool for preventing corruption in public administration. The analysis is conducted by analysing the causes of the phenomenon and its main economic and social effects, in the decision-making processes of the public administration. Furthermore, the work focuses on the analysis of the main international legislative experiences and, in particular, the Italian one, which demonstrate the emergence of ‘transparency rights’ in order to curb administrative mismanagement behaviour (not only offences) and encourage virtuous behaviour.
