adopted ‘the Seoul Guidelines’of 72 articles as a practical measures to protect and promote human rights of migrants by human rights agencies of both countries of origin and destinations. The Seoul Guidelines especially express concern on the severity of human rights violation of migrant women who have fallen victim to human trafficking, and pledged cooperation among national human rights agencies and other interested parties for human rights protection of the victim women. As a follow-up measure, the NHRCK hosted the Seoul International Conference against Human Trafficking in Migrant Women to promote and protect human rights of Asian migrants. Since I participated in the seminar on prevention of human trafficking organized by the Cambodian government in July2009, I recognized the severity of the problem and started introducing legislation on human trafficking with a number of seminar and workshops, policy discussions to establish legislation against sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Today the draft legislations on punishment of human trafficking and on protection of human trafficking victims are at the final stages of deliberation. I will listen to all the valuable comments to be shared in the Conference throughout the day. With all of you activelyparticipating in the discussion and sharing your ideas and concerns with each other, the Conference today will present a valuable opportunity to protect the basic rights of all human being and realize the dignity and value as human. Lastly, I wish happiness and wellbeing to all the participants of the Seoul International Conference. Thank you. June 28, 2010 Choon-Jin KIM Member of the National Assembly, KOREA
