O sigilo de cem anos face o princípio constitucional da publicidade dos atos da administração pública

Abstract

This course conclusion work entitled "The secrecy of one hundred years in the face of the constitutional principle of publicity of public administration acts" aims to analyze the validity and impacts of this restriction on access to public information. The study is based on the constitutional principle of publicity and the law on access to information (LAI), which establishes the citizen's right to full knowledge of administrative acts. The main objective is to demonstrate that the hundred-year secrecy of certain public documents directly affects a citizen's constitutional right. This work seeks to answer the question: How does the hundred-year-old secrecy affect the constitutional right to access publicity regarding public administration acts? The research uses a qualitative methodology, based on documentary and bibliographic analysis, centered on Brazilian legislation on access to and relevant information. Comparisons with similar international systems were also considered. The results of this work can contribute to the discussion on transparency and public control, especially in relation to the balance between the need to protect sensitive information and the citizen's right to information. Furthermore, this study can serve as a reference for future research on the topic.
