"Asia needs common legal systems for human rights"



These days, the consciousness of human rights in Asia has been making great progress. Europe, which played a leading role to protect human rights, made 45 states to one legal community by adopting European Convention on Human Rights and setting up a European Court of Human Rights. To catch up with Europe, Asia is working continuously. In an effort to deepen our consciousness of human rights, The Law Research Institute in our school hosted 'Adopting Asian Convention of Human Rights and setting up Asian Court of Human rights' symposium on September 23.

 A keynote speaker, professor Hans-Heiner Kuehne participated in discussion of human rights related to code of criminal producer in November 2008. Through this discussion, he noted Asian Convention on Human Rights and international judical control systems did not exist, and as a result, they are not defining human rights as a legal meaning. In contrast to nonexistence of legal controlling system, Asia is establishing interdependence relation among themselves. Prof. Kuehne insisted the need of the regulation inclusive but reflecting a minimum of distinct characteristic culture in each district. And he advised us to consider Asia's cultural factor such as putting emphasis on community when making Asian Convention on Human Rights. Also, to make Asian Convention on Human rights fulfilling essential human rights, first compare the States which have Eastern philosophy and finally mediate it.

 Ha Tae Young, professor at College of Law in our school, and also a planner of this symposium, suggested to establish Asian Court of Human rights by saying "Asia has made huge economical leap and now we face an era of internationalization." He also spoke about the nonexistence of Asian Court of Human rights. "A German suspect received the same punishment in France for the same case, and also French victims received the same criminal compensation in Germany for the same case. But in Asia, why do we have to distinguish among Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese and Vietnamese?"

 Prof. Ha prepared the announcement about the reality of human rights in Korea. He said, "According to one of common Asia's concepts of human rights, 'If you want to be served well, then serve another well as you wanted to be served', people who legally enter our country have a right to live like a decent human being regardless of their birthplace. And during the preparation, I found the problems related to women's rights, the rights for the disabled, freedom of expression, racial discrimination, conscientious objection appeared frequently in our societies." Then he insisted, "Because Eastern Asia has similar tendency and culture to our country, the same problems seem to happen often. So we need a unified standard." Before the symposium, the participating nations, Korea, Taiwan, and China have surveyed their human rights. After the symposium, participants will refer survey and anticipated to make a draft of Asian Convention on Human Rights.

 Meanwhile, at this symposium, justice of Supreme Court, Yue Hsiu Hsu and professor of Kaohsiung University, Jiuan-Yih Wu from Taiwan participated and professor of Peking University, Shizhou Wang from China and a person who played an important role to establish European Court of Human rights, Hans-Heiner Kuehne from Germany participated.
