who was bullied for seeming to be homosexual committed suicide. There was a lawsuit that held the student’s homeroom teacher and the local government that operates the school responsible for protecting and supervising the student. In 2016, there was a case in which discriminatory words such as “It is illegal for them to be here” were shouted at migrant women. The court recognized the responsibility of the guilty party to compensate for damages with two million KRW. However, in order to hold someone criminally or civilly responsible for hate speech, there should be a distinguished victim (individual or particular group), and specific proof of damage. Therefore, it may be difficult to define general measures against hate speech. If a minority group is generally referred to, if expressions of hate speech may be regarded as objective by using softer expressions, or if hate speech seems like suggestions for policies, it is difficult to hold someone responsible under the current Civil and Criminal Acts even if such expressions are deemed hate speech. Therefore, countries around the world have separate legal measures regarding hate speech. In order to legally forbid hate speech, separate laws can be enacted such as regulations on hate speech, and it is also possible to add articles that punish hate speech to the Criminal Act. In addition, it is also possible to sign the “Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cybercrime (2001), concerning the criminalization of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems” (2003) to counter online hate speech from the EU and criminalize hate speech that clearly leads to social issues. Administrative measures can be taken according to the current laws on certain types of hate speech. If the hate speech has sexual connotations and takes place in areas such as the workplace, it may be considered “sexual harassment” under the National Human Rights Commission of Korea Act or the Equal Employment 41
