대테러 인권보호관 제도의 성과와 과제 - 테러방지법의 개정을 중심으로 -

Five years have passed since the Counter-Terrorism Act came into force. Legal maintenance was carried out with the aim of creating a safe Korea from terrorism and an organization to prepare for terrorism. However, controversial issues remain in the legislation process. In particular, the issue of human rights violations arising through the Anti-Terror Act is very serious. In order to prevent human rights violations held by the Counter-Terrorism Act, an agency was needed to objectively check and verify the activities of the NIS. The Counter-Terrorism Act has an Counter-terrorism human rights protection officer system under Article 7 of the Counter-Terrorism Act. However, Counter-terrorism human rights protection officer do not have legal authority to verify violations of the NIS' fundamental rights and lack the support staff to perform their duties. Terrorism is not likely to occur in Korea, but it is necessary to strengthen the role of Counter-terrorism human rights protection officer to curb the environment that causes terrorism. Through the revision of the law, it is necessary to allow the attendance of Counter-terrorism human rights protection officer or the participation of human rights officers when investigating and tracking Counter-terrorism attacks. Active cooperation from Counter-terrorism agencies is also needed for the correction recommendation of Counter-terrorism human rights protection officer officers to be effective. The revision of the enforcement ordinance should also allow human rights advocates to be practically involved in establishing Counter-terrorism policies. The state must protect the lives and property of its people from terrorism. In addition, it is important to protect the human rights of the people in establishing Counter-terrorism policies. Strengthening the authority of Counter-terrorism human rights protection officer could be the beginning of human rights-friendly law enforcement.
