Citizens' Coalition for Economic Justice (CCEJ)

 

 

Year Established 1989

 

 

Short Historical Background

 

The Citizens' Coalition for Economic Justice (CCEJ)was founded in 1989 by some five hundred people representing various walks of life: economics professors and other specialists, lawyers, housewives, students, young adults and business people. Their slogan, "Let's achieve economic justice through citizens' power," reflected their belief that the deep-rooted economic injustices could not be cured by the government alone, but ultimately must be solved by the organized power of citizens. They believed that the fruits of economic development should be shared by all the common people, not just the small group of "haves;" and they proposed a new methodology of gradual but thorough reform of the economic system. They founded CCEJ as a movement that would 1) be led by ordinary citizens, 2) use legal and nonviolent methods, 3) seek workable alternatives, 4) speak for the interests of all people, regardless of economic standing, and 5) work to overcome greed and egoism in order to build a sharing society.

MINBYUN-Lawyers for a Democratic Society

 

 

Date Established: 1988

 

 

Short Historical Background

 

In the course of the struggle for a democratic society, Korean lawyers began to actively defend prisoners of conscience and offered support for the democratization movement. The collective advocacy and involvement in the “Guro solidarity strikes” led to the establishment in 1986 of 'Jeongbeophoe (Lawyers for Legal Justice)' by thirty lawyers united by their desire to promote democracy in South Korea.

 

As a result of great sacrifice and long endeavor of the people for democracy, the awareness of the democratization movement widened further. Lawyers also were faced with greater demand of the in-depth study and analysis of alternative policies on human rights violations as well as the basic duty of defending human rights activists.

 

In response to the socio-political changes and the growing participation of younger lawyers in the democratization movement, ‘Jeongbeophoe’ was dismantled and a more cohesive group, 'MINBYUN-Lawyers for a Democratic Society' (MINBYUN) was established on 28 May 1988.

 

 

Objectives

 

MINBYUN aims at the development of a systematic and organizational structure in response to human rights violations with the goal of becoming a valuable participant in the entire democratization movement in South Korea. In addition, MINBYUN provides legal advice and cooperation to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working for social progress.

 

 

Programs and Activities

 

 

MINBYUN makes the effort to achieve the development of democracy in South Korea through litigation, research, and investigation, increasing public awareness and joint activities to protect basic human rights and attain social justice. MINBYUN undertakes the following activities to fulfill its objective:

 

Research and On-site Investigations - to further advance democracy in South Korea and gain the required expertise, MINBYUN takes on research and analysis of various laws and legal structures, which impede the advancement of human rights. MINBYUN also offers solutions to legal problems regarding human rights and such proposals have been utilized by the National Assembly to amend various laws.

 

In cases involving serious human rights violations, MINBYUN lawyers conduct on-site investigations and submit reports to relevant authorities. When necessary, letters of protest are sent and lawsuits are brought forward to remedy the wrong.

 

Legal Representation - the National Security Law and other related laws have been misused to suppress human rights and to persecute individuals who exercise their constitutionally-guaranteed rights. In situations such as these, MINBYUN lawyers are required to not only represent defendants in criminal proceedings but also monitor the authorities for any unlawful conduct such as obtaining confession by the use of torture. MINBYUN also offers legal consultation on labor disputes relating to wages, working conditions and basic labor rights. Recently, the scope of involvement has widened to include issues of public interests such as compensation for flood victims, damage compensation of abusive police interrogation, unconstitutionality of the Hoju-Je (Family Head System), and compensation for noise pollution around Kimpo Airport, among others. Also, as partner of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), MINBYUN provides asylum seekers with legal assistance, including counseling and representation.

 

Opinion Making - MINBYUN formulates public opinion on human rights issues through publication and circulation of pamphlets, books, printed materials and findings of petition drives. Through these publications, MINBYUN informs the general public of undisclosed facts regarding human rights. It has also, either independently or jointly, held numerous public forums, debates, symposiums to present human rights issues and demand the development of alternative policies and the reform of the legal system.

 

Inter-Organization Cooperation - MINBYUN works closely with other Korean NGOs to promote democratic causes. Cooperation can take various forms and includes research, on-site investigation and opinion-making. MINBYUN is also involved in international activities, seeking to raise the domestic level of protection of human rights on par with international standards. MINBYUN drafts reports pursuant to various international human rights agreements and submits its reports to the United Nations. In May 2001, MINBYUN obtained the Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. Through this, MINBYUN is expected to take a more active role in the international area. MINBYUN also assists other overseas human rights organizations to prevent human rights violations and sends abroad their relevant appeals.
