ABSTRACT

In November 2021, Korean Association of Human Rights Studies(KAHRS) conducted an expert survey on the policies of the current Moon Jae-in government and the National Human Rights Commission to review the current situation of social and human rights in Korea and select future tasks. As a result of the survey, the evaluation that the human rights situation in Korea was generally flat prevailed. More than half of the respondents said that the level of improvement in the human rights situation and human rights policies of the Moon Jae-in administration was insufficient. Although the budget and organization of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea increased to a certain extent, more than half of the respondents said that the leadership of key members was insufficient. Among human rights-related policies, many responded that the areas of anti-discrimination, climate change, human rights, and labor were insufficient. However, these human rights areas were also selected as important future tasks in the future. Under these circumstances, the mention of human rights in the president's speeches has continued to decrease since 2018.
