In the process of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaching an agreement on comfort women with the Japanese government in 2015, a court ruling was issued to disclose the records of interviews with members of the Democratic Party, along with Yoon Mi-hyang, a standing representative of the Korean Council for Countermeasures against Mental Problems (hereinafter referred to as Jeong Daehyup).

The 11th administrative division of the Seoul Administrative Court (Deputy Judge Park Hyung-soon) ruled on the 10th that the lawyers’ group’lawyers for human rights and unification of the Korean peninsula’ (Hanbyon) filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for refusing to disclose information.

The judge ruled that most of the rest, except for one of the five cases where Han Byeon requested disclosure to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was denied.

The judge explained that “the documents determined to be disclosed are the result of an interview between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Representative Chung Dae-hyup, such as the date and time, the location, and the subject of the interview,” and “We have excluded all sensitive matters such as specific diplomatic consultations.”

Earlier, in June of last year, Han Byeon requested data and information on the interview to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, claiming that the public has the right to know whether Rep. Yun was aware of the contents of the agreement on the comfort women and whether Rep. Yun’s opinion was reflected in the agreement. Worked.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs determined that the information requested by Han Byeon at the time was disclosed as the subject of non-disclosure prescribed by the Act on Information Disclosure of Public Institutions, as information that could harm the country’s grave interests.
