Has South Korea accomplished democratic consolidation since the
Constitution was revised in 1987? Whereas political freedom has
improved, the NSL is generally pointed out as the main obstacle to
full freedom but it is not the only one to guarantee respect for
human rights. Since full respect for human rights is not
guaranteed, democratic consolidation has not been achieved. This
book analyzes the issue based on the state of human rights that are
an important part of democracy. The starting points are the 1948 UN
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the 1987 South Korean
Constitution and the 2001 National Human Rights Commission (NHRC)
Act which are empirically tested. Definitions of democratic
consolidation are applied. The study first investiga- tes
legislation and human rights institutions, including the National
Security Law (NSL), the Con-stitutional Court, the NHRC, adherence
to international human rights law and the Universal Periodic
Review. Then the impact of inter-Korean relations on human rights
are reviewed based on the NSL, dispatches of leaflets across the
border and conscientious objectors. Finally, freedom of expression,
assembly and association, including the state of sexual minorities,
trials of ex-presidents, death penalty, human trafficking and
torture are studied.
