ABSTRACT

This paper deals with human rights as content for global citizenship. The general notion of global citizenship defines it as a citizen's role and duty in the global society, beyond the boundaries of the nation state. However, in relation to these obligations and roles, there is still criticism that the obligations and roles outside the national state are too limited and abstract in the reality of the international society, which is still centered on the nation state. This paper intends to materialize the concept of human rights as a concrete content of global citizenship. The concept of human rights has been continuously changed, and its concrete contents have been expanded as a reflection of the times. What is remarkable in this process is the universality and specificity of human rights. In other words, the change of the concept of human rights, the contents of which have been so far focused on universality based on the specificity of human rights. At this level, we want to embody global citizenship based on the concept of human rights. To this end, this paper seeks specifically to clarify how the concept of human rights can shape global citizenship in the Republic of Korea vis-à-vis the Yemen refugee situation on Jeju Island.
