ABSTRACT

The number of people who displaced from North Korea and settled in the Republic of Korea has increased In recent years. One of the policies to support North Korean defectors coming to South Korea is the protection center for North Korean defectors. In this regard, there is a constant controversy that the protection for North Korean defectors by the police violates freedom of movement and privacy. Therefore, in order to analyze these problems and to suggest improvements, this study examines the provisions of the North Korean defector law which stipulates the protection of defectors. It is considered that the 「Protection Guideline」 which directly defines the protection of the North Korean defectors, ends up violating the freedom of privacy of the North Korean defectors. It is also claimed that the guideline should be revised in such a way that North Korean defectors are integrated into society in an equitable way, and be openly applied.
