It would not be an easy task to review President Moon’s Government from the viewpoint of human rights. This is because human rights is a very broad term covering almost every government’s policies. More detailed reviews should be tried next time and this article will address some issues during the period of President Moon’s Government. Most of all, this article focuses on the development of human rights in Korea since 1990’s and on the human rights policy agendas which were given to President Moon’s Government. The human rights discourse in Korea since 1990’s has the following features: 1) using the international human rights system, 2) the appearance of detailed human rights issues, 3) from human rights violation to discrimination, 4) the institutionalization of human rights, 5) the localization of human rights, 6) the proliferation of human rights education, and 7) the proliferation of human rights research. However, these tasks were not addressed in the previous two Govenments so that President Moon’s Government had to develop these tasks more actively. However, President Moon’s Government were reluctant to execute human rights polices and the outcome were not satisfactory. We need to analyze the reason of this disappointing result and then it would be possible to propose what is needed for the next Government to execute human rights policies.
