Seoul’s Student Human Rights Ordinance was abolished 12 years after its implementation.
Today, the Seoul City Council held a plenary session and passed the Ordinance on the Abolition of the Ordinance on the Abolition of the Seoul Metropolitan City Human Rights Students Ordinance with 60 in favour, 0 against and 0 abstentions among the 60 members present.
This is the second time in the country after the abolition occurred on the 24th in southern Chungcheong province.
City council members from the Democratic Party of Korea did not participate in the opposition vote that day.
Previously, Seoul City Council President Kim Hyun-ki had accepted an ordinance request from residents to abolish the Seoul Student Human Rights Ordinance, and the abolition bill was proposed in March last year.
However, deliberation became impossible when the Seoul Administrative Court accepted the civic group’s request for a temporary injunction to stay the implementation, and the abolition bill was again presented in the plenary session in the form of a proposed a legislator through a special commission.
In addition, the Seoul City Council also passed the “School Members’ Rights and Responsibilities Ordinance,” which replaces the current Student Human Rights Ordinance.
The superintendent of the Seoul Metropolitan Bureau of Education, Cho Hee-yeon, criticized in a statement that “(the abolition of the Student Human Rights Ordinance) means that even the minimum level of human rights will not be respected.” .
Then, with the difficult-to-understand reason that “the rights and interests of students and teachers can only be guaranteed if the Students’ Human Rights Ordinance is abolished”, and the logic that there is no need for the Students’ Human Rights Ordinance human rights of students since the “School Members’ Rights and Responsibilities Ordinance” is expected to be issued. “It was handled in a one-sided and irregular manner,” he said.
Meanwhile, during the plenary session on this day, an ordinance was passed to stop Seoul City’s support for the Seoul Social Service Center, which provides public welfare services.
