ICAO Annex 13, 5.12 ‘Non-disclosure of records.’

jcjeant via Google !

http://www.mexico.icao.int/icaoaspa2...0ed%5B1%5D.pdf

5.12 The State conducting the investigation of an accident or incident shall not make the following records available for purposes other than accident or incident investigation, unless the appropriate authority for the administration of justice in that State determines that their disclosure outweighs the adverse domestic and international impact such action may have on that or any future investigations:

5.12.1 These records shall be included in the final report or its appendices only when pertinent to the analysis of the accident or incident. Parts of the records not relevant to the analysis shall not be disclosed.

Also see attachment E for the legal advice.

Note the emphasis on the State.
The rest of the world does not have to follow the US, open disclosure, litigious approach often used by NTSB.
