Study of institutional and procedural improvement of the forensic service for aspects of human rights protection

Since the results of the forensic science appraisal are used as evidence for criminal trials, credibility and validity must be guaranteed as they play an important role in determining a person s life. To this end, there is a way to ensure the reliability of the results by reducing errors in forensic science service. However, the number of emotions commissioned by the National Forensic Service increases exponentially every year, while the number of forensic scientist is overloaded due to problems such as not being met, which increases the likelihood of various errors in tests. So, it is necessary to improve the quality of emotional work, respectively, through institutional improvements such as increasing the workforce of workers and limiting the limits of forensic works per scientist. Next, due to its nature as a professional field of forensic science, forensic work is carried out, creating an imbalance between the people and investigative agencies, which could lead to a wide gap in criminal trials over whether or not they are guilty. Therefore, it is also necessary to narrow the inequality between the people and the investigative agencies by supplementing the number of people, as well as procedural and institutional supplementing them so that they can give expert witness in areas that include forensic science service, from the investigation stage to the trial stage, rather than expert witness at the trial stage. Finally, there is a lack of discussion on the ethics of forensic scientists as a special professional role compared to the profound impact of forensic science service on the lives of the people. Therefore, it is necessary to review the code of ethics abroad and establish a code of ethics that can impose practical sanctions, not just ethical norms, to raise the vigilance of forensic scientists against ethical violations.
