Article 7 - Transmission of Knowledge

Transmission of knowledge shall be recognized as a mutual duty. Every citizen shall contribute to the intellectual integrity of society by remaining informed about public affairs, engaging in reasoned dialogue, and promoting clarity in civic communication. The exposure of falsehoods and the responsible sharing of verified information shall be considered essential duties of citizenship.

The pursuit of truth through evidence, critical inquiry, and open deliberation shall be upheld as a foundational civic practice. Journalism, education, and public research shall be recognized as acts of public service, and their freedom shall be safeguarded by society. To be recognized and protected as such, the full disclosure of sources, methods, and data shall be required. All findings and interpretations intended for public knowledge must remain accessible, verifiable, and subject to public scrutiny.

Citizens with advanced knowledge or experience shall share it through teaching, mentorship, or civic engagement, ensuring that learning circulates freely across generations and throughout all parts of society. When exercised in the public interest, no institution, public or private, shall hold the power to censor, alter, or obstruct the good-faith publication or transmission of information by a recognized professional acting within the bounds of their field and ethical commitments.
