National Human Rights Commission of Korea hosted a symposium under the title of ‘guarantee of social and economic rights and role of NHRIs’ in cooperation with the Korean Constitutional Law Association on March 31, 2017. During the symposium, participants discussed role of NHRIs in regards to the right to education, housing and work, in consideration of the fact that the state which has to be active in protecting social and economic rights is rather showing passive attitude.

 For example, pursuant to the National Human Rights Commission Act, only human rights that are guaranteed under article 10 to 22 of the Constitutions are subject of investigation and remedy by NHRCK in regards to human rights violations. During the symposium, discussions were made on the need to expand the scope of subject to investigation of NHRCK to include social and economic rights and to re-establish role and reputation of NHRCK.
