H. Recommendation on Improving Human Rights Conditions of Soldiers
with Maladjustment to Military Service
Based on its 2012 Survey on the Human Rights Status and the
Management of Those Who Fail to Adapt to the Military Environment,
the NHRCK comprehensively reviewed the received complaint cases and
accidents in the military. The Commission, then, concluded that the
military needed human rights friendly culture and measures to improve
the human rights conditions of soldiers with maladjustment to military
service. As such, it recommended, on October 14, 2013, the Minister of
National Defense to come up with a package of comprehensive measures
to address these problems.
For
example,
the Commission pointed out
that
human rights
violations against the soldiers with maladjustment should be prevented.
It further proposed the necessity of human rights friendly leadership
training to prevent such bad habits as "bullying the subordinates" for
those enlisted soldiers when they were promoted to the rank of sergeant
or appointed squad leaders.
