But, it has simply been focused on an integrated state’s obligation to protect the fundamental human rights. That is, this shows that as types of obligations for fundamental human rights, confirmation and protection are the same. However, confirmation obligation and protection obligation regulated in article 10, paragraph 2, of Constitution are based on different performance levels and control standard of state obligation as well as different targets. Therefore, this paper tries to categorize a range of between Fundamental Right assured under the Constitution and one not regulated under the Constitution. At this point, the following two questions are indicated in this paper: First, how can Fundamental Right not regulated under the Constitution be identified?
