Human rights in South Korea

Human rights in South Korea have evolved significantly from the days of military dictatorship and reflects the state's current status as a constitutional democracy. Citizens regularly choose the President and members of the National Assembly in free and fair multiparty elections. The National Security Act criminalizes speech in support of communism or North Korea; though it is unevenly enforced and prosecutions decline every year, there are still over 100 such cases brought annually.
