Termination Problems Public Information Dispute Settlement Process

Abstract

Public Information Disclosure is one of the characteristics of a democratic country that upholds the constitutional rights of citizens to information on state administration. Because one of the meanings of democracy is the extent to which citizens are involved in the administration of the state. In the implementation of public information disclosure, it certainly involves 2 parties with mutual interests, namely the community as users of information and the Public Agency as the manager of information and documentation. This difference in interests in practice often leads to disputes over public information. Therefore, the legislators have prepared the means for resolving the dispute through Undang-Undang No.14 Tahun 2008 Tentang Keterbukaan Informasi Publik, and Peraturan Komisi Informasi Nomor 1 Tahun 2013 Tentang Prosedur Penyelesaian Sengketa Informasi Publik. Since the issuance of laws and regulations on public information disclosure and procedures for resolving public information disputes, the Information Commission has been flooded with public information dispute cases. So, to filter cases with good intentions or not, the Information Commission issued a Surat Keputusan Ketua Komisi Informasi Pusat Nomor 1 Tahun 2018 Tentang Prosedur Penghentian Proses Penyelesaian Sengketa Informasi Publik Yang Tidak Dilakukan Dengan Sungguh-Sungguh Dan Itikad Baik. However, with the issuance of the decree, it caused many problems related to the general principles of justice. Therefore, it is necessary to make improvements in the procedure for stopping the process of resolving public information disputes.
