In response to the recommendation from the National Human Rights Commission of Korea which encourages the prosecutor to allow suspects to take notes during the interrogation, the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office expressed its will to partially accept the recommendation to allow suspect to take a simple note regarding his/her statement to refresh memory.

 

The NHRCK made a recommendation to Supreme Prosecutor’s Office to address its practice of prohibiting suspect from taking notes during interrogation, as it concluded that the right of the suspect to take note should be protected as a right to freedom under Article 10 of Constitution and right to defense under Article 12 of Constitution.

 

The NHRCK, in a response to reply from the Supreme Prosecutors Office that it is comprehensively reviewing the recommendation because allowing suspect to take a note could interrupt investigation, asked to reply again on the detailed implementation measures and ways.

 

In response to the request of the NHRCK, the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office sent its reply saying that ▲ in relation to taking note during investigation, a simple note to refresh suspect’s memory would be allowed as long as it does not interrupt investigation or reveal confidentiality, ▲ in relation to taking note after investigation, a simple note on the overview of interrogation would be allowed, but taking note on statement of other parties and result of interrogation or confiscation would not be allowed.

 

The NHRCK plans to continue review on the issue of allowing note-taking during interrogation in order to protect suspect’s right to defense as it believes that there is a high possibility of controversy over this issue.
