Byoung-Kon Shin

Byung-Kon Shin is an investigator for the National Human Rights Commission of Korea’s Racial Discrimination Team. He conducts investigations into cases of racial discrimination, including those based on grounds of national or ethnic origin, or skin colour. His work is therefore concerned with a large number of migrant workers with limited means of protection. He hopes that DTP training will provide him with a solid understanding of the ICRMW and other relevant international standards, so that he can enhance the work of his newly established department. Specifically, Byung-Kon hopes to encourage the NHRCK to recommend government adoption of the ICRMW.
