Key Activities Employment discrimination based on race and color On December 26, the Commission recommended the president of a service agency to ask the petitioner, a Sudanese sojourning in Korea with a refugee status, if he wishes to be hired for a specific position, so he isn’t disadvantaged in employment. It also recommended the agency to take specific measures to prevent disadvantages in employment in the future, ensure that jobseekers are not excluded from a job offer for reasons of race or color, and train its staff on human rights. After being interviewed by the agency for a job, which is linen cleaning service for a hotel, the petitioner received a text message saying, “the hotel manager does not want to get attention, so he can’t hire you.” The Commission concluded that the petitioner was excluded from the job clearly for reason of race and color, and that doing so constitutes employment discrimination without a justifiable reason in violation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention (ILO Convention No.111). 110
