17) Opinion on Bill on Partial Amendment to Act on Special Cases Concerning
Publishment of Sexual Crimes, etc.
On December 16, 2010, the Commission expressed its opinion on the bill on partial
amendment to the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Publishment of Sexual Crimes, etc
proposed by a member of the National Assembly, as follows: firstly, regulations requiring
attachment of data, including photographs of the residence of the sex offender and
information on the neighborhood of residence satisfy the public's right to know, albeit to
the minimum, under the current legal system, thus justifying posting personal information
of the offender. Such measures are highly likely to violate privacy rights or the right to
self-determination, and the right of privacy of families of sex offenders. Thus, it is not
desirable to introduce the aforementioned regulations. Secondly, with respect to clauses
intended to be revised to require greater details in notification information, such as the
specific address and house number of residence - if detailed information on address or
actual residence is disclosed, there is a high potential that personal information and the
right of privacy of families of the sex offender, and residents living at the same address
would be infringed upon. Thus, it is desirable to only indicate the address and actual
residence of the offender to the level of "open data."
