BPO「放送人権委員会」の審理に関する批判的考察 : 決定第46号の事例を中心に

抄録

This is an analysis of problems related to Decision No. 46, which was publicly announced by the Broadcast and Human Rights / Other Related Rights Committee in February 2011, as well as a clarification of the structural problems of the trial of the Committee and future issues. In conducting the analysis, a comparison was made with regard to Decision No. 46 between the opinions of the relevant broadcasting station and objections from the individuals involved. All past decisions were examined from the standpoint of the quasi-judicial function of the Committee in order to identify the structural problems. The examination resulted in the conclusion that Decision No. 46 includes several factual errors in presenting problems for broadcasting. The structural problems include insufficient investigations and hearings, arbitrariness regarding the subject of decision, and lack of consideration for editorial freedom. The Committee must make improvements concerning the above points and take measures to heighten the verifiability of inquisition.
