A Study on Improvement of Immigration Control for NATIONAL SECURITY in ROK

With the advancement of globalization, countries are struggling with crimes by foreigners in their own coun-tries. Republic of Korea(ROK) is no exception, and it has already reached the age of 2 million foreigners staying in ROK, and crime by foreigners is also increasing. In particular, not only conventional military and political secu-rity but also comprehensive security have attracted attention, and crimes such as drugs and international crimes by individuals or organizations have become a threat to national security. In this respect, it is the strengthening of immigration control by foreigners that can block crime for national security. There is a current Immigration Control Act with a statute to examine the identity of such foreigners. Since the current immigration control law resurrected the fingerprint seal system for foreigners abolished in 2003, there is a conflict between the criticism of unfair discrimination against foreigners and the effective method of restricting crime by foreigners staying abroad. In this article, we will review the brief description of the fingerprint and face information collection system in the present Immigration Control Act and the purpose of the legislation. Based on this, we examined why the system that was abolished in the past revived, focusing on expected benefits and considerations. Although many things can be considered in the first place, the most important thing is to prevent illegal im-migration by re-entry of persons who have committed crimes in the past or identity laundering by illegal immi-grants as well as efficient immigration examination, thereby reducing the risk of crime by foreigners It is expected. In addition, it is possible to prevent cases of settlement and further crimes by quickly identifying the identity of foreign criminals, and even if foreigners are injured, it can be solved quickly. In this case, violation of the principle of excessive prohibition and infringement of personal information self-determination right of information subject may be a problem, but the biometric information system is not suffi-cient for the purpose of legitimacy of purpose, adequacy of method, balance of legitimate interests, And that it does not infringe on the right of self-determination of personal information of information subjects.
