ABSTRACT

The courtesy of those who were sacrificed in the process of maturing democracy in Korea were established by the constitutional amendment in 1980, and it was expanded from the National Merit Act of 1984 to the 5・18 Merit Act of 2002. But the legal basis for the courtesy to those involved in the Busan-Masan democratization movements has not been established so far. The compensation and honor recovery for those involved in the Busan-Masan democratization movements were made by 65 compensation and 357 honor recovery under the Democratization Compensation Act of 2000 and the Busan-Masan democratization Compensation Act of 2013. However, the courtesy for them is not realistic. The bill on the courtesy of those involved in the the Busan-Masan democratization is being initiated by Kim Hee-gon in 2020 and by Jeon Jae-soo in 2021. Two Bills on the courtesy of those involved in the Busan-Masan Democratization are fully utilizing the 5·18 Merit Act. It is the duty of the state to discuss the enactment of the law on honorable treatment and compensation to those who have sacrificed during the Busan-Masan democratization movements and their families.
