- Birth registration
Type:RecommendationSession:14th session, November 2012Status:Unclear ResponseContents:Facilitate the implementation of a birth registration system to allow immediate registration at birth, independently of the status or nationality of parents.ExplanationAccording to the Act on the Registration, Etc. of Family Relationship, when the father or the mother cannot register the birth of a child, relatives living with the child or the doctor or midwife involved in his/her delivery is required to do so, and a fine is imposed when the registration is delayed; as such, the government is making efforts to guarantee accurate birth registration. The birth registration of foreign children born in the Republic of Korea can be made through their respective countries' embassies in the Republic of Korea. In cases where the parents of children born in the Republic of Korea cannot make registrations to their country due to reasons such as refugee recognition, permission for stay including alien registration is granted to the children if the biological relationship with their parents can be confirmed by birth certificates issued by the hospital and other institutions.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 50) The universal birth registration requires mandatory birth reporting upon the birth of a child. The birth of a child of foreign nationals born in the Republic of Korea shall be registered in accordance with the laws of their countries even in cases where the parents are undocumented migrants. Children born to refugees can be registered as foreigners if they submit birth certificate issued by a hospital. The Act on the Registration, etc. of Family Relation was amended in May 2016 to allow a prosecutor or the head of a local government to report a child’s birth if the persons who are obligated to report fails to do and jeopardizes the child’s welfare.
UN Compilation:
Para 15) Noting the universal periodic review recommendation on a birth registration system, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reported that the birth registration system failed to ensure universal and compulsory birth registration and that foreigners whose children had been born in the country were not able to register their children through the family register, although their children might receive a birth notification document from the hospital.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 23) JS2 stated that the Government has refused to register births of children of foreign nationals. The parents might register the birth of their child through the embassies of their countries. However, refugees were often reluctant to approach the embassies to register the birth of their child. -

- Violence against women / gender-based violence
Type:RecommendationSession:14th session, November 2012Status:AcceptedContents:Take all procedures to prevent all forms of violence against children and women.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 40) The Government is making efforts to prevent sexual violence and domestic violence by drawing up comprehensive measures through inter-ministerial cooperation to intensify punishment for perpetrators and to strengthen support for victims. In December 2012, the provision that stipulated sex offence as an offence that is punishable only by complaint was abolished. The sex offenders registration and notification system, which was set up to prevent recidivism, has been reformed to allow identification of sex offenders via mail notifications and smartphone applications. Consulting centres and shelters for victims of sexual violence are also being expanded, along with the expansion of free legal aid programs. Public Defender for Victims was adopted in 2012 and has been in operation since 2013 for all victims of sexual violence, providing legal support from the early stages of sexual assault response to investigations and trials.
UN Compilation:
Para 55) The Committee against Torture was concerned at the wide prevalence of violence against women, at the low number of complaints and prosecutions and at the conditional suspension of charges against perpetrators of domestic violence in exchange for education and counselling, which might amount to acquittal and failed to adequately protect the victims. It was concerned that marital rape was not included as a separate offence in the Criminal Act.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 38) JS1 stated that the 2013 plan against domestic violence considered domestic violence as a private issue of persons involved, which does not require social intervention. The focus of the plan was to maintain a normal family life. The prosecution rate of domestic violence cases remained low. It stated that domestic violence was not properly punished and victims were exposed to continued threats. -
