SYNOPSIS

I. Introduction

(1) We often called the Modernized Society ‘Information-Oriented Society’ as ‘New Era’

that differs from that in the past. Republic of Korea is also progressing to the road of

informatization so quickly after announcing ‘the Year of Information Communication’ on

1993.

Due to the advancement of science technology, people can more easily have access to

any information of the entire world through only computer and are able to use it, but that

science begets inequality between people who can access or get precious information and

people who cannot have access to or cannot get it. Those affect human life or the dignity of

human, which makes people reach desired information for a fortune, gold or a nation’s

wealth.

Modern human beings has been recognizing Freedom of information as not only a

crystal of participatory democracy, accountability and good governance but also as status

like the medulla of a fundamental human right. The developing countries as well as

advanced nations agree with statement that information freedom is an important part of

modern democracy. This access should be within that range unless and until it is harm

shown to public interest. “The right to freedom of information refers primarily to the right

to access to information held by a wide range of governmental agencies. It reflects the

principle that public bodies do not hold information on their own behalf, but rather for the

1

benefit of all members of the public. Accordingly, individuals should be able to access to

this information unless there is an overriding public interest reason for denying access.”1

In the contemporary era, another aspect what we should be considerable is namely the

right to the truth. Related to the idea of freedom of information is transparency of decision-

making processes of government.

Also, as nation’s administrative authority digs into a secluded part of public, private life of

people, the desire of people that wish to share the administrative information holding

nation etc. have begun to be elated.

The sharing of Administrative information that nation ect, have is absolutely

indispensable.

First, in the world, Sweden that was ready for the system of Public information although it

has no article regarding the human right in theirs the constitutional law, it has been highly

estimated that is settled the right system of Public information. We can say that the

settlement of the right system of Public information is the key to realize the modern

democracy. Second, almost western nation carefully devotes all their strength to

preparation of law institution as to the Disclosure of Information. As a part of endeavor,

U.S.A., France etc, Act on the Freedom of Information on the independent several country

amount to be prepared.

In the first stage, it is difficult to fulfill this institution because of an authoritative

insincerity or posture burdened about public obligation of administrative officials.

However, if reviewing the management state of the disclosure of information about the

1 Klosek, Jacqueline, op. cit, 2009. at 2.

2

each nation, according to the spirit of the original that is concrete realization of right to

know, the positive management amount to around 90% is catching us attention.

(3) Be different with states of Western Europe, in case of Asia, it is not familiar with the

Administration Information Disclosure, cause of the high administrative authoritative

thought. Japan had established the Administration Information Disclosure through the

ordinance of the local self-government by the end of 1976. But the administrative decree

remains conservative trend, for this reason, the Enactment of Act on the disclosure of

information hadn’t been achieved, but the Administration Information Disclosure Act has

been established last 1999. Republic of Korea had begun the establishment of an ordinance

on the administration's information disclosure in the City of Chung-Ju on 1991. The

establishment is a shorter period than Japan, but after established and South Korea is

enforcing “Official Information Disclosure Act” (the disclosure of the administrative

information Act of Public institution in the Republic of Korea.).

In this Dissertation I would like to search for the improvement direction for settlement of

the right to information to compare and review Republic of Korea’s problem with the

administration information disclosure act of Public institution in U.S.A., France, Japan etc..

(4) An act on the disclosure of information for materialization of realization of the right

to know is premising the general, objective organ (Public Information Committee etc.) of

the Administration Information Disclosure. Prevailingly, this body makes it a rule not to

limit as to the object of disclosure. However, in some cases, this act restricts and stipulates

in detail regarding the object of the disclosure of information exceptionally in the

construction of law and the managing to restrict the abuse of excessive discretion by this

3

committee. Furthermore, the act of this organ like the ‘Public Information Committee’

prescribes the procedural remedy as to the concerned person and third party for realization

of right and the principle of a law governing from the constitutional law point of view.

(5) This Dissertation inquiry into the concept and meaning and necessity of the

disclosure of information that several countries explain, especially, it is a comparison of the

difference between the claim of information disclosure of individual and the claim for

inspection from the constitutional law point of view. I clarify the concept as to Right to

Know that bring up legal reason on the claim of information disclosure, Republic of Korea

have no clear regulation on the Constitutional Law so that there are theoretical

confrontation regarding being able to reorganize the Right to Know, based on regulation of

the constitutional law.

II. Scope and Objectives

I will try to find that people wish to open the specific information such as climate change

and grain price’s forecast through the relation with articles of Act on Right to information

of India with ROK. This it will be decreased national financial extravagance.

In side of politic, this study will help to make estimates preciously on demand of all sorts

and conditions of people to be occurring according to surround environmental change.

New term, a Post Neo-liberalism2 will be introduced in my study for explaining these

phenomena. This suggests that key word of Right to Know will move toward the financial

2 Q-Man Ban, The Post Neo-Liberalism had showed in the International Conference on Mitigation of Climate Change: Law. Policy and Governance, Campus Law Center, University of Delhi, 25th – 27th Apr 2014, http://clc.du.ac.in/full-Event.aspx?id=10, visited on 2nd May 2014.

field. This new term is related to Economic and Environmental issue and RTI. The more

science technique is going to develop the more issues connected with RTI will be raised

question and Government standpoint also need to express to their people clearly and

transparently.

This study will contribute to policy decision of India and ROK in the side of law, Right

to Know that is affected by interdisciplinary study like this.

III. Hypothesis

For data analysis (refer to the table in this paper), I had surveyed one questionnaire with

total 17 questions to 66 persons who is consists of from experts in their respective fields

like a writer, politician, public servant, activists in NGO, lawyer, researcher, professor,

doctor, teacher, economic analysts ect..

These experts or general people access to many mass media or Government

Organization for theirs research or task or sometimes getting information need to theirs

living.

These behaviors, especially environmental issue, and Europe financial crisis are

connected with ‘Right to Know’ indirectly or directly. Furthermore, fluctuation of the

market price in the stock market or Grain market is affecting to their future and sometimes

can hold sway on the definitive outcome of making decision of them.

I create one hypothesis what and how Climate change affects the change of recognition

of human being. At this moment, I studied how both countries, India and Republic of

5

Korea through RTI who is meeting many people daily change their mind. Second, I

supposed whether human beings will claim or do not claim to open specific information in

relation reciprocal between cognition and behavior of human being with this climate

change.

IV. Research Methodology

This paper investigates the social status of RTI in India and ROK, specifically with

regard to relating to environmental issue, and the larger importance of the right to know not

only India and ROK but also in the world.

Comprehensive analysis of the complex issue of RTI in India requires an

interdisciplinary perspective because the word ‘know’ in RTI is also the cause of many

psychological problems in modern society. Therefore, this paper draws literature from

Behavioral Economics, Psychology, Climatology, Historical evidence, and Official

Statistics (both from the government and from Indian literature) to investigate the complex

history of RTI and climate in India. This analysis is accomplished through a framework of

social exchange theory in organizational behavior3 because the methodology used is

interdisciplinary, depending on mutual cooperation among various fields of study.

Also I endavoured to adapt not only my survey, but also theses or doctorate and papers

and treatises from journals that is officially recognized to present evidence and refutations

Mitchell, 2006, "Social exchange theory: An interdisciplinary review." Num 31, 6th, Journal of Management , 874-900, Malone and Crowston, 1994, Malone, Thomas W., and Kevin Crowston.

on my theory.

In chapter 1st manage Data Analysis, historical and philosophy’s angle, from the public

and administrative law’s viewpoint, the right of information disclosure in global’ side,

information’s several concepts, and comparison with Right to know about the

constitutional law.

This chapter 2nd, by the method of literature study, manages comparison of other country

act and the comparative examination with system of several countries, U.S.A., England,

German, Sweden, France, and Japan etc. In addition, this chapter is written, “why does

each country need the Public Information Act?”

Moreover, it manages matters being confused with the Disclosure of information; it is

the Information that is supplied by the discretion of administrative agency. It will explain

what the difference between the disclosure of information and supplying of information

has. The supplying of information is that centered administrative official gives certain

information for needed people, and on the contrary, the information disclosure, when

people claim the disclosure, the administrative agency should disclose it.

The chapter 3rd and 4th, I make an examination requirement for the non-discloser’s

decision of the public institution about the disclosure claim and about the Remedies for

right from Korea’s the Act on the Disclosure of information point of view. And I will

examine on legislation example of the administrative remedy in another country, pointing

out the problem of the remedial procedure of right in Korea from the act on the disclosure

of information point of view, wanting to seek out the proper remedial procedure of right,

an ordinance of the City of Chung-Ju and the Act on Public Information. In addition, this

7

chapter seeks out to analyze the present public institution’s act on the disclosure of

information of Republic of Korea. The researcher is writing as to endeavor to expand

public information through the establishment of information disclosure committees and

control of system, obligation and the penalty in the Republic of Korea. In addition, it will

present the proper management and improvement direction of Korea.

In the chapter 5th will introduce a new politic economic definition titled a Post Neo-

Liberalism in the first world. A creator of this theory is the Republic of Korean, Indra (his

nickname on the Blog), and social activist in South Korea. Namely, the first South Korean

had conceptualized this termnology called a ‘Post Neo-Liberalism’ in the world. In

addition, I am First Scholar who finds and introduces neo-termnology a Post Neo-

Liberalism in the world.

In the chapter 6th I will writing as to how whether, sunspot affects to human being’s

activities. This is the reason why climate affects to human being’s conscious so that the

change of human being’s conscious births the change of the act of human being, which the

change of act will affect increasing and decreasing of the claim of the right to know. Policy

maker, through this fact, can judge and prepare for that scope, objection of opening etc. on

every claims happening in the future.

Especially, this chapter examines, through study of Behavioral Economics’ Theory,

human being’s consciousness and behaviors through the relation between weather and

food, weather and crime and increasing claim of right to know and how the curiosity or the

doubt arouse. This chapter also is writing how that curiosity and wondering arouse mind

desiring to know.

8

This study has shown the potential significance by borrowing of common archaeological

data. Interdisciplinary studies with archaeological records, medical, few modern

technologies will make this study a particularly even more valuable.

The chapter 7 and chapter 8th are explaining India’s RTI around Vivek Ramkumar’s

Movement for Right to Know and Non-Government organizations as Public Authority. It

explains concrete article and clause of India RTI.

The chapter 9 a researcher is writing a common feature and a point of difference of India

and Republic of Korea. In this chapter I compare Korea rule with India rule through each

article and clause’s comparison by the chart.

The chapter 10, it is the conclusion, in here this dissertation pursue legislative unification

and diversity acceptance of both nations through comparison between India and Korea. Not

all information always helps with decision making for policy. So we need to study and be

ready for several primary factors of information failing. I emphasize that ‘not because of

the lack of the law,’ main failure factor is the mistake of human beings like the mistake of

information analyst and agency, the mistake distribution of information, failure of

consumer persuasion etc.

V. Survey of Existing Literature

i. In Sweden since the 18th century

Anders Chydenius, The World’s First Freedom of Information Act, was one of the most

notable politicians of 18th century Sweden-Finland. “He is most of all remembered as an

9

outspoken defender of freedom of trade and industry, the Adam Smith of the North.”4

Behind Anders Chydenius’ thought and actions there can be seen three of the main keys to

the spirit of his time: the idea of natural rights, the natural scientific worldview, and

Pietism, which emphasizes the religious convictions of the individual.5 These three are

useful things even today.

“He experimented with new breeds of animals and plants and adopted new methods of

cultivation. In all his practicality, Chydenius was clearly representative of the Swedish

“Age of Utility” with his aim of enlightening the peasantry by example.”6 Today, this is

same with it that South Korea Government have proposed ‘Plan for Creative Economy’ to

propel stable growth.

“In practice around the world, this has usually meant a statutory right on the part of the

public to see certain types of recorded information held by public authorities.”7 ‘Right to

know as fundamental right has issued in Sweden since the 18th century (citizens have the

right to know - the right to access to official documents). Freedom of information has been

developing at a strong pace only recently, but it is hardly a new concept. The roots of the

FOI principle date back to the 18th Century, the Age of Enlightenment.’8

In Sweden and Finland, 2014 is observed as the 248th Anniversary, 2016 will see 250th

Anniversary, after this dissertation will be approved, of the Freedom of Information

legislation was adopted by the Swedish parliament in 1766. ‘The key of the 1766 Act

achieved by Anders Chydenius (1729-1803) were described in his article censorship and

the gaining of public access to government documents.

Although the innovation was suspended from 1772-1809, the principle of publicity has

since remained central in the Nordic countries.’9

‘Chydenius participated actively in the Diet of 1765-66 for getting the concrete results of

an extension of the freedom of the press, which is the Ordinance on Freedom of Writing

and of the Press (1766) abolished political censorship and gave the public access to

government documents. This was the world’s first freedom of information legislation.’10

ii. History of India

The Official Secrets Act, 1923 in India makes all disclosures and use of official

information of a criminal offense unless expressly authorized. “But still there is too much

secrecy which is the main cause of administrative faults.”11 The constitutional philosophy

also amply supports it; nevertheless, Indian Constitution does not specifically provide for

the right to information as a fundamental right.

As today, information is wealth; hence, it is impossible for us to emphasize its equal

distribution’s importance much over. “Taking a cue from this Constitutional philosophy, the

Supreme Court of India found a habitat for freedom of information in Articles 19 (a) and 21

of the Constitutional law.”12

India Court is enumerating the right to free speech and expression that “It is heartening to

notice that the highest Bench in India while recognizing the efficacy of the ‘right to know’

which is a sine qua non of really effective participatory democracy raised simple ‘right to

know’ to the status of a fundamental right. In S.P. Gupta v. Union of India the court held

that the right to know is implicit in the right of speech and expression guaranteed under a

Constitution in Article 19 (1) (a). The court decided that the right to free speech and

expression includes: (i) right to propagate one’s view, idea and their circulation: (ii) right to

seek, receive and impart information and idea; (iii) right to inform and be informed; (iv)

right to know; (v) right to reply; and (vi) right to commercial speech and commercial

information. Furthermore, the Court has widened the scope of getting information from

government files, by narrowly interpreting the privilege of the government to withhold

documents under section 123 of the Evidence Act. However, this judicial creativity does

not substitute for a constitutional or a statutory right to information.”13

Section 5 also hold back the access and the circulation as the virtual reproduction of

Section of the British Official Secrets Act, “All information which a Crown servant learns

in the course of his official duty is ‘official’ for the purpose of Section 2, whatever its

nature, whatever its original source. Consequently, whoever receive such information,

whether reporter or layperson are liable to punishment. Both the giver and the receiver of

information are liable to imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years.”14 ‘A

striking difference between English and Indian government affairs, the Attorney-General in

England independently decides whether to prosecute or not.’15

‘With the judicial support, the right to information has now become a core of public issue

and there is a strong demand for the enactment of a formal law on freedom of

information’,16 although it is various restraints and exemption. The state of Goa, since

1997, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan have legislated laws ensuring public access to

information. They submitted various drafts to an assembly for authorized institutes like the

Press Council of India that to considerate and by independent citizens’ groups.

Ultimately, Freedom of Information Act, 2002 was passed by the consent of the President

on January 6, 2003. The act provides that any person seeking information could approach

designated authority either in writing or through electronic media.

VI. Conclusion

This is applicable to both India and R.O.K. the act on public information have been

limitation from a point of departure, namely, That is why ‘Non-Disclosure Object

Information’ had been created widely, inclusively. This, India’s RTIA, 2005, also should be

overall revised, improved, but is remained indefinite cause until now. Especially, both

countries, in the public information’s objection, the information that is being perfectly

excluded are some information that is collected or produced by agencies in charge of

information pertaining to the national security and security services as the purpose of the

information analysis.17

The information above mentioned will be also able to regulate enough by clause of non-

disclosure objection information. The Limitation of Consumer and Supplier Information

Supplier also involves various limitations.

First, as main contents, consumers have no time to spare for reviewing that information

because of busy schedules, or prefer individually to specific information or have the case

that excessively expect and distrust as to inform.

Both have the restriction analogous limitation so that it is not only easy for us to define

the proper relation between consumer and supplier but also always disputed.

We need to decide that authority that decision maker has commission is where she/he is,

also the information agency which is comprised of public servant should meet the demand

of desire for information to the extent to which, should decide according to individual

cases.

That means information that open to the public should not be given just a market. But the

Government should endeavor open and give their people useful information which have a

profit in the future such as temperature change.

“Information about threats to the environment, health, or human rights, and information

revealing corruption, should be released”18 Furtherore, so, we need to study for the

17 Art. 4 (3) the Official Information Disclosure Act, R.O.K., Art 8 (1), The Right to Information Act 2005, India.18 Ibid, Rajak, et. el., at 74.

14

presentation for this criteria “what does information play the role?”, that is established

between information agency and information consumer through multiple research.

Not all open information always helps with decision making for policy. So that we need

to study and be ready for several primary factors of information failing

‘Main failure factor is the mistake of information analyst, the mistake of information

agency, the mistake distribution of information, failure of consumer persuasion etc..’19

In India Act, above all, the first, appellate authority is a weak link in RTI regime. The

strength of any chain of activities lies in its various links. Hence, the success or failure of

the implementation of the Act depends on the level of understanding and executing their

respective roles by concerned players in the RTI regime responsible for ensuring the supply

of information. The role of the first Appellate Authority in the RTI Act is as important as

that of the Commission. Large number of appeal/complaints before the Commission, inter

alia, would be reflective of the quality of functioning of the First Appellate Authorities of

the public authorities. The RTI Act does not prescribe with due clarity either duties and

responsibilities nor any deterrent in the event of failure to do so for the First Appellate

Authorities. This perhaps appears to be one of the greatest causes for the indifferent attitude

of the First Appellate Authorities in the RTI regime.

As senior officer(s) of the organization, they need not only to discharge their quasi

judicial function properly, but take corrective measures also to strengthen the supply end of

information management in accordance with provision of the RTI Act especially section 4.

Second, it is the absence of a standard / uniform procedure in deciding the complaint for

non compliances. The need for ensuring compliance of the orders of the Information

19 Mim JinKyu, Nation Intelligencology, Publisher Baeum, 2013.

15

Commissions cannot be emphasized enough. Noncompliance not only negates any sense of

justice the appellant may deserve, but also indicates disrespect towards the institution and

the spirit of the RTI Act. However, there is a significant absence of any uniform process of

handling the cases of non compliance by the Information Commissions. Some Information

Commissioners treat non-compliance of their orders as a complaint which is registered

separately and disposed; whereas, others consider them as a part and extension of earlier

case record and the matter is dealt with like a normal correspondence in a file.

Third, pendency is increasing and Cases and the scope of the claim will more increase

and be more expended according to the theory of sunspot and behavioral economics. The

creation of a backlog and pendency in the disposal of appeals and complaints does not

augur well for the future of the Right to Information in the country. One of the reasons for

considering the RTI Act to be a revolutionary one is stipulation about strict response time

for furnishing information backed up by individual penalty on erring government official.

This requirement of timeliness has been extended to the First Appellate Authority as well –

an order has to be given within 30 days from the date on which the first appeal is filed.

However, the long queues, the absence of knowledgemen on affairs of public officer at the

level of the Information Commissions are a cause of major concern amongst stakeholders

especially information seekers. This may perhaps be a case for stipulating reasonable

timeline for disposal of second appeals too.20

Therefore, in the RTI Act management area, the issues of the above are important areas

in the side of Public Information and should be improved urgently.

20 Central Information Commission Technical, Ibid, at 8-9.

16

It appears necessary to discuss and debate on these issues and laid down a way forward

for legal and pragmatic solutions. This paper barely begins to scratch the surface of what is

possible, but I hope it will suggest new ways forward in analyzing the the right to

information/democracy/development relationship.

VI. 1. Recommendation for Development

To streamline execution of the right information in India I propose something the

following.

First step, the government should deregulate a complicate administrative procedure.

India administrative procedure needs both sign and stamp. It needs to standardize to one

side, sign or stamp. A public officer should have the duty by compulsion to inform or

transmit the information commissioner or organization similar when the institutes don’t

hold or lack of the information.

Second. Operation of Index: All public instituions should arrange all information to build

the index. If so, all servants can assist themselves and improve efficiency of service and

find identification of the non-existence of information in rapid and quick. Indexes should

list the titles of documents subject to classification.

Third, More proactive transparency: As I commented at the first time through the open

the information, the common knowledge of all material on the websites can make people

easier to access to information through operation minimum, simultaneously, government

body should hang information on the board by paper for the real openness.

17

Forth, Public officials must present the ground document to the applicant when refuse on

request on some information. The reason of refusal “must be clearly and specifically

defined by law. Any refusal must clearly state the reasons for withholding the

information.”21 Officers should also have proper authority, when denying to disclose on

some information, through an internal review process, should prove to justify that do not

disclose.

‘The training program for access to information should be instantly instructed to all

officials and should endeavour to boost the level of literacy of all people’22 because “Poor

quality education can affect to security.”23
