It requests theGovernment to enforce the decision of the Administrative Court cancelling all punitive measures untila final judgement has been rendered, including by granting the renewal of Mr Catuiras residencepermit. The Committee requests the Government to submit detailed information on the currentstatus of Mr Catuiras work permit in reply to the complainants communication of 28 September2011 and any other information related to this case.(b) The Committee expresses its firm expectation that the Government will proceed with theregistration of the MTU without delay, and supply full particulars in relation to this matter.(c) The Committee once again requests the Government to ensure that the Committeesconclusions, particularly those concerning the freedom of association rights of migrant workers, aresubmitted for the Supreme Courts consideration and to provide a copy of the Supreme Courtsdecision once it is handed down.(d) The Committee once again requests the Government to undertake an in-depth review of thesituation concerning the status of migrant workers in full consultation with the social partnersconcerned, so as to fully ensure and safeguard the fundamental rights to freedom of association

    and collective bargaining of all migrant workers, whether in a regular or irregular situation and inconformity with freedom of association principles, and to prioritize dialogue with the social partnersconcerned as a means to find negotiated solutions to the issues faced by these workers.

    Criminalization of racial discrimination8. The Committee regrets that the draft bill of the Discrimination Prohibition Act did not provide forthe criminal punishment of discriminatory acts. It further notes that the existing legislation is not infull compliance with the article 4 of the Convention, including the absence of criminal sanctions forincitement to racial discrimination and acts of racially motivated violence.Recalling its general recommendation No.1 (1972) on article 4, the Committee reiterates themandatory character of the provisions of article 2 and of article 4 and urges the State to amend itsCriminal Code to include racial discrimination as a crime and to adopt comprehensive legislationwhich criminalizes racial discrimination, provides for adequate punishments proportional to thegravity of the offence, considers racial discrimination as an aggravating circumstance and providesfor reparations to the victims.

    Racist hate speech

  • 181

    .

    10. The Committee notes that racist hate speech directed against non-citizens is becoming morewidespread and explicit in the media and on the internet. The Committee notes that thefundamental right to freedom of expression of the individuals involved does not protect thedissemination of ideas of racial superiority or incitement to racial hatred.In accordance with its general recommendation No. 7 (1985), No. 15 (1993), and No. 30 (2004),the Committee recommends that the State party monitor the media, internet and social network toidentify those individuals or groups who disseminate ideas based upon racial superiority, incite toracial hatred against foreigners. The Committee recommends that the State party prosecute andadequately punish the authors of such acts.

    Migrant Workers11. The Committee takes note of the amendments in the Employment Permit System but remainsconcerned that migrant workers are subject to discrimination, exploitation and lower or unpaidwages. The Committee expresses further concern that migrant workers cannot de facto becomeeligible for permanent residency in the Republic of Korea, which requires five years of continuouspresence in the country, as the maximum employment period amounts to 4 years and 10 monthsrenewable once after a break of three months outside the country. The Committee is greatlyconcerned about the information that migrant workers, especially those who become undocumented,cannot enjoy their right to organize and join labour union and that some of their union executivemembers have been expelled from the country. The Committee fully shares the recommendations ofthe Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (E/C.12/KOR/CO/3) in this regard.The Committee recommends the State party to further amend the Employment Permit System inparticular relating to: the complexity and variety of types of visa; the discrimination based oncountry of origin; the limitation of the migrant workers ability to change their workplaces; themaximum employment period; and to ensure that migrant workers can fully enjoy their rights andthat migrant workers and their families, in particular children, enjoy adequate livelihood, housing,healthcare and education. The Committee urges the State party to guarantee the right of allpersons to form and join trade unions freely. The Committee requests the State party to report onthese specific issues. The Committee recommends the State party to ratify the InternationalConvention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.

    Foreign Human Rights Defenders

    who were denied entry to the Republic of Korea

    Since 2010, Peoples Solidarity for Participatory Democracy(PSPD) has documented cases

    where foreign human rights defenders were denied entry to the Republic of Korea with the

    broad interpretation of Article 11 and 12 of the Immigration Control Act (especially Article

    11(1)(3) and 11(1)(4)) by the Immigration Office. When a foreign human rights defender is

    denied entry at the airport, they do not have access to the lawyer as the lawyer is not

    permitted access to the area where the human rights defender is held in at the airport. In

    all cases, specific reasons of entry denial were not given to human rights defender.

    On 6 September 2012, PSPD made a request for information disclosure to the Ministry of

    Justice regarding entry denial of foreign human rights defenders but the Ministry did not

    reveal the information reasoning that it was related to self-sovereignty.

    Article 11 and 12 of the Immigration Control Act are as follow:

    Article 11 Prohibition, etc. of Entry

    (1) The Minister of Justice may prohibit the entry of a foreigner who falls under any of the

    following subparagraphs:

    1. Persons carrying an epidemic disease, narcotic addicts or other persons deemed likely to

    cause danger and harm to the public health;

    2. Persons who intend to enter the Republic of Korea unlawfully carrying firearms and guns,

  • 209

    swords, explosives, etc. as prescribed by the Control of Firearms, Swords, Explosives, etc. Act;

    3. Persons deemed likely to commit any act detrimental to national interests of the Republic of

    Korea or public safety;

    4. Persons deemed likely to commit any act detrimental to economic or social order or good

    morals;

    5. Mentally handicapped persons, vagabonds, the destitute or other persons in need of relief;

    6. Persons for whom five years have not elapsed after departure from the Republic of Korea

    under a deportation order;

    7. Persons who have taken part in slaughter or cruel treatment of peoples on the grounds of

    race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, political opinion, etc. under instructions from or in liaison

    with the Japanese government, any government which was in alliance with the Japanese

    government, or any government on which the Japanese government exercised predominant

    influence from August 29, 1910 until August 15, 1945; and

    8. Persons who correspond to any of subparagraphs 1 through 7 and who are deemed by the

    Minister of Justice as persons whose entry is improper.

    (2) If the home country of a foreigner who intends to enter the Republic of Korea refuses an

    entry of a national of the Republic of Korea for any reason other than those as referred to in

    any of subparagraphs of paragraph (1), the Minister of Justice may refuse the entry of such

    foreigner for the same reason.

    Article 12 Entry Inspection

    (1) If a foreigner desires to enter the Republic of Korea, he/she shall undergo an entry

    inspection by the immigration control official at the entry and departure port.

    (2) The proviso of Article 6 (1) shall be applicable to the case as referred to in paragraph (1).

    (3) In conducting the entry inspection, the immigration control official shall permit the entry

    after examining whether or not the following requirements are satisfied:

    1. The passport or seaman's pocketbook and the visa shall be valid: Provided, That the visa is

    limited only to case where it is required;

    2. The object of entry shall comply with the status of sojourn;

    3. The sojourn period shall be determined under the conditions as prescribed by the Ordinance

    of the Ministry of Justice; and

    4. The foreigner shall not be subject to the prohibition or refusal of the entry as prescribed in

    Article 11.

    (4) If the immigration control official deems that a foreigner fails to meet any of the

    requirements as referred to in subparagraphs of paragraph (3), he/she may refuse to grant

    Below is the list of cases documented by PSPD regarding foreign human rights defenders

    entry denial to the Republic of Korea.

    1. G20 International Peoples Conference organized by Put People First! Korean Peoples G20

    Response Action (November 2010)

    PSPD documented eight Filipino human rights defenders who were denied entry at the

    airport even though they had a valid visa to enter the country issued by Korean embassy

    in Manila. Six human rights defenders who applied visa to attend G20 International Peoples

    Conference could not obtained the visa.

    entry permission.

    (5) Upon granting entry permission to a foreigner falling under Article 7 (2) 2 or 3, the

    immigration control official shall qualify him/her for sojourn and determine the period of

    sojourn under the conditions as prescribed by the Presidential Decree.

    (6) The immigration control official may enter vessel, etc. for the purpose of conducting the

    inspection as referred to in paragraph (1) or (2).

    (7) The provisions of Article 5 (2) shall apply mutatis muntandis to the case as referred to in

    paragraphs (1) and (2).

    2. Foreign Human Rights Defenders who have worked against the construction of Jeju naval

    base

    In solidarity with Gangjeong villagers, many foreign human rights defenders visited the

    Gangjeong village. Unfortunately, some of them were denied entry at the airport while the

    others were deported during their work in Gangjeong.

    Two non-Korean human rights defenders were deported due to their involvement and

    protest regarding a naval base construction in Gangjeong village. On 15 March 2012, the

    Government ordered the immediate deportation of Mr.Benjamin Monnet, a French activist,

    while Ms. Angie Zelter, a peace activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee from the UK, was

    asked to leave the country before 22 March 2012. When Mr. Monnet was deported, it was

    not properly notified to his lawyers and he did not even have a chance to file the

    revocation litigation against the compulsory eviction order.

    From 2011 to 2013, PSPD documented 26 cases of entry denial among which nine cases

    happened during the World Conservation Conference(WCC) organized by the International

    Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN).
