the access to information. The improvements in the legislation and institutional systems regarding information technologies have failed to catch up with the speed of development. As such, the Commission created the ICTs and Human Rights Report. The ICTs and Human Rights Report is a government-wide initiative that is in compliance with international standards for human rights and ICTs and human rights. This comprehensive report covers the definitions of various terms arising in relation to the negative effects of information society (the right to communicate, freedom of expression and the right to information access), and the scope of ICTs and human rights. In addition, the report was published to review the current status of ICTs and human rights in Korea by examining the Commission's recommendations and opinions about legal systems regarding this issue and decisions to rectify violations and discrimination. It served as an opportunity for the Commission to revisit and adjust the scope of and the approach taken vis-à-vis ICTs and human rights. It also encouraged the government to proactively implement the recommendations and opinions and proposed comprehensive policy directions to the government and other agencies with regard to ICTs and human rights.
