Jung Woo-sung attended a special session on the theme of "People on the Road: Today and Tomorrow in the World Refugee Problem" at the 13th Jeju Island Forum at the Jeju Island International Convention Center (ICC) in Seogwipo City on the 26th.
On this occasion, Jung Woo-sung said, "It is impossible to think about human rights to put Yemen in a state that can not enter Jeju Island as a visa on the first day." "The control of Refugee's entry through visas is a risk that Refugee can not go to any Europe It's a way of being implied," he said.
The 'Refugee problem', which felt distant from the feeling, suddenly came close to the public and understood the point where it was difficult for the public to accept.
Jung Woo-sung said, "In the meantime, I have met many Refugee and displaced people and have often thought, 'How do I know this huge World problem to our European people, I have done too much homework?' But because it was a distant Europe story, I accepted and understood it mostly tolerantly. "
"But at some point, a lot of Refugee seem to think of them as 'why we should be responsible' because they applied for Refugee in Jeju Island. "The word human rights can be a very vague and difficult story for the public," he said. "It seems that Jeju Island has created a sense of responsibility because it has limited its output (). If the release was granted, Yemen Repugee would have been able to reduce the burden on the Jeju Island and the central government by solving the food and shelter themselves, even if it was difficult to get help from the community such as Seoul. "
Jung Woo-sung saw that the problem of Yemen Refugee eventually revealed the problems that exist deeply in our society.
Jung Woo-sung said, "It is difficult to raise children, 2030 generations have complaints about deprivation and employment from society, and women are always anxious about being exposed to crime, so 500 people suddenly became a fuse. It seems that we are going to talk about 'we are also difficult' because of various social problems. "
Above all, he emphasized that the role of the government and accurate information delivery are important in these conflicts.
Jung Woo-sung said, "The government should listen to the stories of the people and solve such complaints together, and the people should find ways to solve the problem with calm mind so that the government can be proud of the international community (on the Refugee issue)." The basis should not be out of the essence of discussion with poor information or exaggerated information. "It is not an emotional approach to asking whether Refugee human rights are more important than the human rights of the people of Korea."
Jung Woo-sung was appointed Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations Refugee Organization in May 2015; it was the tenth in World and the second in Asia. Jung Woo-sung visited Nepal in 2014 as an honorary ambassador, and has met with Refugees in South Sudan, Lebanon, Iraq and Rohingya Refugee villages.
