The First Meeting of the Corruption Investigation Office Inspection Committee Held... An Young-ryul, Former Chief Judge of Seoul Western District Court, Appointed as Chairman

[Asia Economy Choi Seok-jin, Legal Affairs Specialist Reporter] The High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Agency appointed nine inspection committee members and held the first inspection committee meeting on the 5th.

On the same day at 3 p.m., the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) held the 1st Inspection Committee meeting in the CIO's main conference room at the Government Complex Gwacheon.

Kim Jin-wook, head of the CIO, appointed nine members from various fields including the legal community, academia, and the media. Former Seoul Western District Court Chief Judge Ahn Young-ryul (65, Judicial Research and Training Institute class 11) was appointed as the chairman.

At the meeting, the inspection committee members received a report on the major work status since the launch of the CIO and then expressed opinions on ▲ the promotion plan for the CIO's inspection work ▲ measures to enhance the fairness and objectivity of inspection work.

The Inspection Committee deliberates on matters related to the CIO's inspection work and recommends necessary measures.

Through the 'Inspection Committee Operation Regulations,' the CIO mandates that the Human Rights Inspector must refer important inspection cases such as ▲ major misconduct cases ▲ unclear cases regarding restrictions on resignation of members ▲ socially sensitive misconduct cases to the Inspection Committee for mandatory case review.

Last month, the CIO established a Human Rights Counseling Office responsible for consultations regarding misconduct or unfair acts by affiliated employees, concerns about legal violations during duty performance, and workplace grievances. Additionally, a female human rights counseling specialist was separately designated. Centered on the Human Rights Inspection Office, the CIO is making special efforts and paying close attention to protecting employee human rights and fostering a clean organizational culture.

The CIO stated, "We will support the Inspection Committee to operate independently and strictly in the future."
