Pursuant to Article 29(1) of the ｢National Human Rights Commission of Korea Act｣,1) the goal of preparing this report is to describe the human rights situation and improvement measures for 2022. The report in 2022 has the same purpose as the first Report on Human Rights Situation in Korea in 2021. We selected the major cases and issues during 2022 and they were described in terms of the status and assessment. Of court it is better to look at major human rights issues and cases, systematic efforts to protect human rights and international human rights status, etc. in detail for each area. However, due to the physical limitations of the report, the main topics were selected for each area and they were reviewed according to the major cases and their effects on the Korean human rights status. This report has been prepared to provide information on major human rights situations in Korea and for everyone to be able to access easily. Furthermore, the Commission’s perspective and assessments are presented. However, this report has been prepared to generally present the many human rights topics, and therefore, some topics only present the general principles, rather than discussing the details. We expect to present more detailed discussions through individual recommendations, statements and investigations, etc. 1) Article 29 (Preparation, etc. of Reports) ① The Commission shall prepare an annual report on its activities for the preceding year, the human rights situation and improvement measures and shall report thereon to the President of the Republic of Korea and the National Assembly. In such cases, the report shall include matters related to the human rights of military personnel. 3
