In order to promote regional resilience, the ROK has been focusing on building capacities in Asia Pacific countries. In this regard, the Asia-Pacific Cybercrime Capacity-building Hub Secretariat was established in 2020 with trilateral MOU among Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE), the World Bank Group, and the SPO. The Secretariat is located in Seoul and will serve as a hub network, providing cybercrime response trainings and investigation assistances to different regions in developing countries. (Norm 5) States, in ensuring the secure use of ICTs, should respect Human Rights Council resolution 20/8 and 26/13 on the promotion, protection and enjoyment of human rights on the Internet, as well as General Assembly resolutions 68/167 and 69/166 on the right to privacy in the digital age, to guarantee full respect for human rights, including the right to freedom of expression; ㆍSupport for human rights resolutions The ROK strongly supports human rights online. The ROK co-sponsored the Human Rights Council Resolution 20/8 and 26/13 concerning the promotion, protection and enjoyment of human rights on the Internet. The UN General Assembly Resolution 68/167 and 69/166 on the right to privacy in digital age were adopted without vote, and the ROK further supports the full respect for human rights in line with such resolutions, including the right to freedom of expression. ㆍEmerging technologies and human rights The ROK has played a leading role in promoting and raising awareness on human rights in the digital era. For example, the ROK drafted and proposed the 41st Human Rights Council Resolution 41/11 – New and Emerging Digital Technologies and Human Rights in 2019, cosponsored by 86 countries and adopted by consensus. The ROK also successfully implemented recommendations on human rights (Rec.3A/B) and was identified as “champion” by the UN High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation. In collaboration with the UN and other multi-stakeholders, the ROK continues actively participating in discussions to yield fruitful and concrete results. ㆍLegal Framework At the domestic level, the ROK has legal frameworks to protect human rights in the use of ICTs. The Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), enacted in 2011, regulates the personal data handled by the private and public sectors. Specifically, the law regulates the mandatory measures for each stage of handling of personal data by the personnel and protects the entity of information. 6 / 10
