rights issues. He has in the past played leading roles in a
number of nationally organized NGO campaigns directed towards
ensuring an open and democratic society in Korea.
Prof Kwak has written extensively about labour,
human rights, and corporate issues. He is now busy developing his
thick lecture notes into labour law textbooks and writing a
standard textbook on human rights law, which will be made
available by next March. Prof Kwak has attended many
international human rights conferences and NGO fora, starting
from the UN Conference on Human Rights in Vienna in 1993.
For his work on the Kwangju Massacre, Prof Kwak
