Other Recommendations [2004] KRNHRC 11 (1 January 2004)

The Enforcement Regulations of the Construction Engineering Management Act more
readily recognize the qualifications of those with engineering licenses than the qualifications
of those with excellent educational and work experience. This may lead to needless
discrimination against non-license holders who have comparable qualifications. The
Commission recommended that the Minister of Construction and Transportation correct such
discrimination.

The current Immigration Control Act does not set forth rational procedures of appeal by
foreigners who are prohibited from entering Korea by the Ministry of Justice. It makes it
possible that foreigners are prohibited from entering Korea without just cause. The
Commission made recommendations to the Ministry of Justice that foreigners be guaranteed
the right to protest in such cases.
