ir country, may register birth at their embassies in Korea. - However, the ‘birth report certificate’ only confirms the fact that the birth is reported. It does not pr ove the birth itself and identification. In addition, refugees who fled to Korea due to oppression from t heir government refrain from visiting their embassies, who are highly likely not to cooperate. In additi on, there are cases where it is difficult to report the birth including the people whose embassy does n ot exist in Korea or the embassy refuges to accept the report due to no information on biological fath er or undocumented stay status. - In order to address these issues, 10 draft bills to amend the Act on the Registration, Etc. of Family Relationships with regards to birth report system were proposed at the 20 th session of the National Ass embly, and they are still pending. - In 2017, the NHRCK recommended to the Minister of Justice to make an amendment to the related legislation to mandate a doctor and midwife involved in delivery to report the birth to national instituti ons or public institutions. The Minister of Justice replied that amendment will be carried out after cons ultation with medical institution and related agencies, but the progress seems uncertain. - The UN Human Rights Council during the 3rd cycle of UPR on Korea(2018), and UN CERD’s 17th t o 18th Concluding Observations emphasized that the report of birth is precondition for enjoyment of hu man rights, and recommended to guarantee birth registration of all children born in Korea regardless of their national or status of stay. - Currently, the government, along with the Presidential Committee on Ageing Society and Population Policy, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Health and Welfare, and Ministry of Gender Equality and Famil y, is discussing the introduction of obligation of birth report by medical institution, but due to different opinion among Ministries, progress has not been made. 2) Questions - Please explain the reason for delay of introduction of obligation to report birth of medical instit utions. - Please provide measures to guarantee registration of birth of all children and government’s plan for implementation. 25.
