‘정보공개법’상 국가기밀을 이유로 알권리를 제한하는 것의 타당성 = The Validity of Restricting the Right to Know by National Confidentiality in the ‘Official Information Disclosure Act’

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to exam the validity of how the law on the disclosure of information by public institutions, which marks the 20th anniversary of its enforcement, conforms to the people’s realization of the ‘right to know’ and whether ‘right to know’ is reasonably restricted by ‘National Confidentiality’ in the Official Information Disclosure Act. In this paper, the cases of objection by each agency on the nondisclosure of information, the cases of administrative adjudication, the court precedent and the Constitutional Court’s cases were analyzed. The Supreme Court has shown a tendency to basically focus on the value of public disclosure in a tug of war where legal interests clash between ‘right to know’ and ‘National Confidentiality protection’. The Constitutional Court ruled that the definition of the concept and extent for ‘National Confidentiality’ does not violate void-for-vagueness. Freedom of expression or the ‘right to know’, which is contrary to national interests, may be restricted, but there have been some cases in which it is unclear whether the issue is clearly national interest or the interests of the government. This suggests that the yardstick for the use of ‘National Confidentiality’ may be variable depending on the times and the government. If the connotation and the definition of ‘National Confidentiality’ are integrated into one and clearly presented, it is judged that the people will make more responsible decisions about the legal enjoyment of the ‘right to know’. Other decisions by the judiciary and public institution on the nondisclosure of information are thought to have an antagonism in realizing the ‘right to know’ through the public’s request for disclosure of information.
