I intend to examine the various situations related to the recognition of victims and seek an integrated solution. Since the sociopolitical recognition structure functions strongly in the process of giving recognition to victims, some victims experience a long delay in receiving recognition or are altogether excluded from receiving recognition for unjustifiable reasons. Since the Second Truth and Reconciliation Commission was launched in the Republic of Korea, various victims have requested recognition through investigations into events in which they had been involved. However, there were many cases in which the final recovery had not been carried out despite the truth-finding investigations conducted by other national organizations. I have tentatively categorized victims into four types: political victims, economic victims, social victims, and ideological victims.

The Act on the Restoration of Honor and Compensation to the Victims of the Samchung Re-education Camp issued compensation only to the victims who became disabled, died, or disappeared at the camp, or died from trauma upon release. However, it is necessary to consider the forced internment and the internment period as damage factors as well.
