In particular, we share the same concern that the human rights defenders are exposed to the threats and attacks in the form of intimidation, stigmatization and defamation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">MINBYUN notes that recently attacks have been directed against human rights defenders in Republic of Korea. Firstly, last October the Prosecutors\u2019 Office of the Republic of Korea applied to the Korea Bar Association to commence in the disciplinary action against 7 MINBYUN members. The Prosecutors\u2019 Office claimed that lawyers violated the professional ethics when they acted in the professional capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">However, the truth is that (i) one lawyer advised suspect to remain silent during the interrogation process; (ii) another one lawyer advised suspect nothing to conceal the truth and make false statement; and (iii) other lawyers took the police officers away from the assembly site not to interfere with the ongoing assembly. Given the circumstances of the facts, we define that these disciplinary actions amount to attacks by the government. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">Mr. President,<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">Secondly, the rights of some human rights defenders have been breached when the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Korea ordered the dissolution of the political party known as the Unified Progressive Party (\u201cUPP\u201d) which we believe that the decision did not satisfy international human rights standards. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">With this decision, approximately 100,000 UPP members were deprived of their right to exercise freedom of association. The government extended criminal investigations over the ordinary members of the party. In addition, the law prohibits any assemblies intending to contest the Constitutional court decision from taking place, which infringes the members\u2019 right to exercise freedom of assembly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">We, MINBYUN would like to draw the HR Council\u2019s attention to follow-ups with respect to these issues. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;\">Thank you, Mr. President<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>28th Regular Session of the UN Human Rights Council Item 3 : Promotion and Protection of Civil, Political, Economic, Social and Cultural Rights \u00a0 General Debate Oral Statement delivered by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2152,2151],"tags":[2176,2159,2168,2174],"class_list":["post-675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-submissions-to-the-un","category-minbyun-voice","tag-dissolution-of-the-upp","tag-human-rights-defenders-in-korea","tag-human-rights-lawyers","tag-upp"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>[HRC28]Oral Statement delivered by Ms. Ha Na Kim_General Debate - \ubbfc\uc8fc\uc0ac\ud68c\ub97c \uc704\ud55c \ubcc0\ud638\uc0ac\ubaa8\uc784<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.minbyun.or.kr\/?p=675\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"ko_KR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"[HRC28]Oral Statement delivered by Ms. Ha Na Kim_General Debate - \ubbfc\uc8fc\uc0ac\ud68c\ub97c \uc704\ud55c \ubcc0\ud638\uc0ac\ubaa8\uc784\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"28th Regular Session of the UN Human Rights Council Item 3 : Promotion and Protection of Civil, Political, Economic, Social and Cultural Rights \u00a0 General Debate Oral Statement delivered by [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.minbyun.or.kr\/?p=675\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"\ubbfc\uc8fc\uc0ac\ud68c\ub97c \uc704\ud55c \ubcc0\ud638\uc0ac\ubaa8\uc784\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-03-23T02:53:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"minbyun2024\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"\uae00\uc4f4\uc774\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"minbyun2024\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"\uc608\uc0c1 \ub418\ub294 \ud310\ub3c5 \uc2dc\uac04\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2\ubd84\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.minbyun.or.kr\\\/?p=675#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.minbyun.or.kr\\\/?p=675\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"minbyun2024\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.minbyun.or.kr\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/3a884842e3e595d95b85df9b77707b9b\"},\"headline\":\"[HRC28]Oral Statement delivered by Ms. Ha Na Kim_General Debate\",\"datePublished\":\"2015-03-23T02:53:14+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.minbyun.or.kr\\\/?p=675\"},\"wordCount\":347,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.minbyun.or.kr\\\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"dissolution of the UPP\",\"Human rights defenders in Korea\",\"human rights lawyers\",\"UPP\"],\"articleSection\":[\"(i) Submissions to the UN\",\"1.
