政治檔案條例修法與展望

Prospects on the Amendment of Political Archives Act

自2019年7月24日施行《政治檔案條例》（以下簡稱本條例）以來，國家發展委員會檔案管理局（以下簡稱檔案局）多方徵集政治檔案，透過檔案整編、目錄及人名索引開放、數位化與全文影像上網等措施，積極促進檔案開放應用。期間，因部分機關囿於其他法律規定或國家安全、對外關係考量，致部分檔案未能解密或開放全文影像，引起社會關注；同時，隨著監控類檔案清查與發現，檔案當事人之高度個人隱私保障亦有待強化。參酌國際人權及轉型正義發展趨勢，檔案局期透過本次修法，調和本條例與相關法律之適用，解決政治檔案徵集及應用實務產生之課題，以周延政治檔案徵集及開放制度，並藉由政府紀錄的完整公開還原歷史真相，促進社會和解，作為推動轉型正義工程的重要里程碑。

Since the Political Archives Act was implemented on July 24, 2019, the National Archives Administration, National Development Council(NAA) has acquired political archives from various sources. To promote the public access of political archives, NAA has engaged in the reorganization and the digitization of political archives, and provided catalogues, indexes, and online full-text images to the public. However, some agencies failed to provide political archives to the public due to restrictions of other laws or considerations of national security and foreign relations, and it raised public concern. In addition, as the public has the access to political archives recorded from unconsented surveillance, the privacy protection of those who were recorded should be strengthened. After taking the development trend of international human rights and transformational justice into account, the Amendment of Political Archives Act is made to solve the conflicts among relevant laws, upgrade the legal system of archives acquisition and public access, clarify the truth and promote social reconciliation as an important milestone for transformational justice project.
