<![CDATA[Public information disclosure is a constitutional right guaranteed in a democratic state. This normative legal research aims to identify clear rules regarding the limits of intelligence secrecy in Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Public Information Disclosure.

The results show that the paradigm difference between the principles of transparency and confidentiality creates legal uncertainty in practice. This condition is evident in various public information disputes that demonstrate the broad interpretation of state secrets by public bodies. The impact is not only on limiting access to information but also on public participation in oversight of public policy and regional development.
