국가안보정책과 국민의 알권리 증진의 균형에 관한 연구

초록

National security is an essential function of a state that seeks to protect its people and maintain safety from external aggression and threats, and the state, as long as, requires confidentiality held only by that state to ensure safety from the outside. However, in order to guarantee the people's right to know, a core value that maintains the system of a modern democratic state, the liberal state constitution declares the principle of disclosing information managed by state actions and state agencies to the public, but introduces national security and state secrets as an exception to this principle. There has been a consensus that the leakage of national secrets could pose a serious threat to national security even in the public's perception, but at the same time, they are striving to achieve the democratic goal of guaranteeing the people's right to know. As the 4th Industrial Revolution and the AI Revolution became a hot topic today, the protection of national secrets and the promotion of the public's right to know in national security policy are issues that can have a significant impact not only in the security sector but also in all areas including politics, economy, society and culture. In a modern democratic country where the importance of the people's right to know is emphasized and the system for requesting information disclosure is established, national confidential protection is facing a new era. There is a greater need than ever to find a balance between the protection of national confidentiality accompanying the implementation of national security policies and the promotion of the public's right to know.
