The conditions of detention facilities for undocumented foreign nationals, along with the methods used to manage them, have been found to violate human rights, a report showed on Wednesday.
Following months of investigation, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea published a report showing that officials at these facilities frequently fail in their duty to protect the rights of foreigners facing deportation or awaiting asylum decisions.
The commission, after conducting in-person inspections of three facilities and thorough interviews with officials, revealed that violations of human rights, which are guaranteed by both domestic and international laws, often start occurring at the beginning of their duties.
Article 3 of the administrative guideline on handling violators of the country’s immigration control law states that government officials are required to 스포츠 work to prevent language-related disadvantages for these individuals.
