human rights violations against minorities through the means of human rights education and submitted our opinion that the human rights of women, sexual minorities, migrants, laborers, and seniors, as well as human rights-conscious corporate management and media environments, must be valued when establishing the 4th phase. We also included our view that the focus should be placed on the main targets, methods, and details of human rights education; systematic training processes for human rights education specialists; assessments of human rights education; diversification of human rights education; and the responsibilities and roles of national human rights institutions. E. Expressing the Opinion on the Legislative Bills for the Introduction of Alternative Civilian Service Concerning the four bills on the partial amendment of the Military Service Act and one legislative bill on the assignment to and fulfillment of alternative service submitted to the National Assembly, we expressed our opinion to the Speaker of the National Assembly on September 13 that it is viewed as desirable to add changes to provisions about the qualifications for applying for alternative service, the agency and procedures to screen those to be assigned to alternative service, the details and terms of service, and the categories of service in a manner that complies with international human rights standards. On June 28, the Constitutional Court of Korea concluded that it is a violation of the freedom of conscience of conscientious objectors not to include alternative service in the categories of military service defined in Article 5 (1) of the Military Service Act and that such as violation is incompatible with the Constitution. The deadline for the amendment of the said provision was set for the end of 2019. Five legislative bills on the introduction of alternative service were tabled with National Assembly Members Kim Joong-ro (1), Lee Jong-myeong (1), Lee Yong-ju (1), and Kim Hakyong (2) as chief authors. We expressed our opinions on these five bills based on international human rights standards and our basic principles for alternative service recommendations. The alternative service bills propose to set up a screening agency affiliated with the Military Manpower Administration or the Ministry of National Defense and to set the service term to be twice as long as that of the army or air force.
