National Human Rights Commission receives over 10,000 complaints annually (as of 2021).\u003cbr\u003e Investigators affiliated with the National Human Rights Commission are responsible for determining the truth of cases filed by complainants and directly investigating whether human rights violations have occurred. \u003cbr\u003eInvestigators investigate hundreds of cases each year to help victims who have suffered harm but have not received proper help.\u003cbr\u003e Author Choi Eun-sook, who has worked as an investigator at the National Human Rights Commission of Korea since 2002 on the front lines of human rights, has also had to deal with countless cases and face the injustices that are difficult to fully describe in a report.\u003cbr\u003e In 『Words of Appeal: Stories Beyond the Cases Encountered by a Human Rights Commission Investigator』, the author shares his affectionate feelings about the victims he met and their stories while working as an investigator for over 20 years.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eAuthor Choi Eun-sook meticulously examines the inner workings of individuals that cannot be known through trial results or news articles alone: ​​elderly people who cannot read or write and thus find it difficult to file even simple civil complaints, migrant workers who are confined to mental hospitals because they cannot communicate, athletes who endure violence because it is customary, and those who, desperately seeking the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, ultimately turn their backs on the world.\u003cbr\u003e While looking at those who are in the blind spot of the law and system with a warm gaze, he also honestly reveals the limitations he feels as an individual investigator.\u003cbr\u003e The author argues that while it is the job of human rights investigators to verify facts, the true spirit of human rights lies in understanding the diverse patterns of life that exist beyond the facts.\u003cbr\u003e The author's courageous and honest voice toward minorities and the underprivileged will touch the hearts of

complaining about injustice resonate through the Human Rights Commission.\u003cbr\u003e Each story is different, but it is clear that they are desperate enough to contact the National Human Rights Commission.\u003cbr\u003e The author reveals the real stories of \"people\" beyond the incidents that are not readily apparent in documents such as statistics or investigation reports on human rights violations.\u003cbr\u003e Part 1 contains the stories of various people the author met. \u003cbr\u003eI met young people who silently endured unfair treatment at work, and victims who were wrongly accused due to flawed investigations and judgments by the authorities.\u003cbr\u003e While some complainants apologize to the investigators, saying that they made them come a long way for a trivial matter, others cause confusion in the investigation by telling blatant lies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Once, a prisoner in prison called the investigator directly and requested a 'face-to-face complaint'.\u003cbr\u003e The author, who had been questioning the system because there were many cases of abuse of the face-to-face petition system, only learned after meeting the petitioner in person that he could not read or write and could not even submit a simple complaint on his own.\u003cbr\u003e Because of my preconceived notions, I almost turned away from people who needed help.\u003cbr\u003e One day, I met a ‘malicious complainant’ who filed complaints every other day. \u003cbr\u003eHe filed complaints with the police station every day over seemingly trivial matters, claiming that police officers were violating citizens' human rights.\u003cbr\u003e The day I met Jinjeongin, he gave up his day's work and came out wearing his best clothes, thanking me for meeting him.\u003cbr\u003e After listening to the truth, I realized that there was a reason for his actions.\u003cbr\u003e The author confesses that he has long regretted prematurely labeling a man dressed in shabby, out-of-style clothes as \"malicious\" and not listening to what he had to say.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Every case became more complicated the more we looked into it and the circumstances of the parties involved were known.\u003cbr\u003e The author says that while knowledge and information about human rights are necessary to reduce injustice, the most important thing is the attitude of listening to others' stories. \u003cbr\u003eThis book introduces stories that clearly exist around us but have been overlooked, and the desperate plight of those who fall into the blind spots of law and institutions, allowing us to view human rights from a new perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWith good intentions, passion and courage\u003cbr\u003e An investigator's honest confession\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A national institution like the National Human Rights Commission cannot resolve all cases, and investigators are also limited by their individuality.\u003cbr\u003e In Part 2, the author explains why, despite the times when he was “sometimes astonished, sometimes heartbroken, and sometimes wanting to turn away” while working as an investigator, he was able to continue without losing passion and courage.\u003cbr\u003e I honestly reveal the hardships, joys, frustrations, and satisfactions I have experienced as a working person and as a human being.\u003cbr\u003e As my career as an investigator grew, I sometimes became tired of the work and treated complainants in a formal and stiff manner. \u003cbr\u003eI became accustomed to asking questions one by one, causing trouble to my family and friends, and I shed tears of helplessness as I realized the limitations of the Human Rights Commission, which has no legal enforcement power.\u003cbr\u003e However, the author confesses that after wrapping up the case, he was able to regain his composure after seeing the grateful words and warm hands of the person who had been investigating, and the fellow investigators who worked hard with the same purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It's painful to listen to other people's complicated circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e There are many sleepless nights, worrying that rather than alleviating someone's grievance, the situation will only get worse.\u003cbr\u003e After dismissing the petitioner's petition several times, I was cursed at for being malicious, received a phone call out of the blue screaming at me for being a \"human rights activist,\" and there was even a day when I realized that I was wearing the wrong pair of shoes after working all day. \u003cbr\u003eSometimes, the author is overcome by a sense of helplessness and wants to turn away from everything, but despite this, he never loses motivation and keeps his mind sharp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This happened when a sexual harassment incident occurred at a Korean organization in Cambodia.\u003cbr\u003e The author, who encountered limitations while investigating an incident that occurred overseas in Korea, decided to conduct field research overseas.\u003cbr\u003e The director of the investigation was embarrassed because it was unprecedented and there was no separate budget, but the author went ahead with the business trip.\u003cbr\u003e Looking back, it was a reckless attempt, but thanks to it, we were able to uncover the truth of the incident and relieve the victims of their grievances.\u003cbr\u003e This would not have been possible without good will and passion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author also shares an episode where he gained courage from fellow investigators he worked with.\u003cbr\u003e There is a senior investigator who visited the grave of a victim who died under suspicious circumstances 20 years ago in an attempt to clear his name, but there is almost no related information. \u003cbr\u003eHe said that he pitched a tent next to the victim's grave and spent several days there, hoping that the victim might appear in his dreams if he spent the night there.\u003cbr\u003e The author also has fond memories of working with fellow investigators to raise money for children in refugee camps in Thailand and opening a fund to support human rights activists working in the field.\u003cbr\u003e Eating together, going to the mountains, sharing stories, and supporting each other are the colleagues who give me the strength to endure the hard work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFrom the perspective of the Human Rights Commission investigator\u003cbr\u003e Current State of Human Rights Sensitivity in Korean Society\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Eunsuk Choi says that while legal knowledge and administrative skills are necessary to clear someone's name, she is constantly reminded that convictions like courage, goodwill, and honesty are even more important. \u003cbr\u003eEven when presented with a bundle of documents filled with conflicting claims, unreasonable measures, and far-fetched, wordy excuses, the mindset of an investigator who begins a thorough investigation while understanding the true circumstances of the case carefully reaches out to those who have been wronged.\u003cbr\u003e While an incident that violates someone's rights is problematic in itself, the process of resolving the problem often reveals the limitations of unreasonable laws and systems.\u003cbr\u003e The author points out that if human rights are defined solely through laws and systems, there will inevitably be those who do not receive proper protection, and that human rights sensitivity is what complements this limitation.\u003cbr\u003e A heart that cares for minorities and the weak, and a way of thinking from diverse perspectives while abandoning prejudice can make our society a slightly more livable place.\u003cbr\u003e To bridge the limits of the law, we need an attitude of listening to the voices of others. \u003cbr\u003eAs we follow the author's example of demonstrating this attitude, the 'heart of human rights' will soon seep into the readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “The laws and institutions we trust and rely on are often far more incompetent than we expect.\u003cbr\u003e There are already thousands of laws, and even if thousands more were to be created in the future, it would be difficult to completely resolve the incompetence of the law.\u003cbr\u003e Law is like a fishing net; no matter how elaborately it is made, there are bound to be holes through which one can escape.\u003cbr\u003e So, I think that what can compensate for the incompetence of the law, which has no heart, is the heart.\u003cbr\u003e As important as it is to create good laws and systems, it is also important to consider who carries out the work and with what mindset.\u003cbr\u003e And I think it should be even more so when it comes to human rights.\u003cbr\u003e I would like to call it 'the heart of human rights'. \u003cbr\u003e“It seems that this very heart is where the injustice that the net of the law cannot relieve can be relied on.” (pp. 159-60)
