解説
問 6
Incorrectア
The Whistleblower Protection Act is a law that protects workers (whistleblowers) who report legal violations within their organization from suffering disadvantageous treatment such as dismissal. It does not stipulate requests for disclosure of documents held by administrative agencies.
Incorrectイ
The Personal Information Protection Act is a law that obligates businesses and others handling personal information to acquire, manage, and use it properly, thereby protecting an individual's personal information. It is not a law that stipulates a right to request disclosure of documents held by administrative agencies in general.
- ウ
正解 Option ウ, the Information Disclosure Act (official name: Act on Access to Information Held by Administrative Organs), is a law that stipulates citizens' right to request disclosure of administrative documents held by administrative agencies, together with the request procedures, the decision on whether to disclose, appeals against non-disclosure decisions, and so on. It exactly matches the stem's description of a law that stipulates the right to request disclosure of documents held by administrative agencies and its procedures, so ウ is correct.
Incorrectエ
The Unauthorized Computer Access Prohibition Act is a law that prohibits and punishes acts of illegally accessing computers, such as by misusing another person's ID or password. It has nothing to do with requests for disclosure of documents.
ここがポイント
- Information Disclosure Act = the law that stipulates citizens' right to request disclosure of administrative documents held by administrative agencies and the related procedures (official name: Act on Access to Information Held by Administrative Organs).
- Distinguish the scope of easily confused laws: Whistleblower Protection Act = protecting internal whistleblowers, Personal Information Protection Act = proper handling of personal information, Unauthorized Computer Access Prohibition Act = prohibiting unauthorized access.
