Issue 8: Introduction of Training Program and System for Prohibition of Torture Status 73. The Committee recommended to “make training on the provisions of the Convention and the absolute prohibition of torture mandatory for all law enforcement personnel and other public officials, introduce training programs on non-coercive investigation techniques and implement specific methodologies to assess the effectiveness of the training” in the concluding observation on the third to fifth periodic reports of Korea in 2017. 74. In order to prevent torture, inhumane treatment or discrimination that may occur in the process of law enforcement and investigation, training should be continuously provided to law enforcement officers and public officials in correctional institutions so that such trainings do more than unsystematic and one-time education. To that end, a system should be in place to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of the training. 75. However, it is difficult to obtain sufficient statistics to confirm whether the Korean government conducts systemic training program of prohibition of torture for law enforcement personnel and other public officials. 76. In addition, the NHRCK recommended the Korean government to use a name badge for the Correctional Rapid Patrol Team (CPRT) and take mandatory human rights training course when being selected as a team member, but the Ministry of Justice did not accept the it.
