The NHRCK had discussed the agenda confidentially at the Standing Committee meeting on the 20th of last month but failed to reach a conclusion and decided to resubmit it later.


Earlier, the Military Human Rights Center and others launched the Byeon Hee-soo Foundation Preparatory Committee in February last year and submitted the application documents for approval of the non-profit corporation establishment to the NHRCK in May of the same year.



According to internal regulations, the NHRCK must approve or reject the application within 20 days unless there are special reasons after receiving the application for corporation establishment approval. However, no conclusion has been reached regarding this agenda even after 10 months since the application was received.
