A Preliminary Consideration of the Human Rights Violations and Recovery for the 1st Generation of the 4·3 Bereaved Families with Discrepancies in the Family Register

Issues of past history resolution and recovery have usually centered on the violation of the victims' human rights and their recovery. The bereaved families have been seen only as the object of completing the issue of indemnification and compensation for the victims' sacrifices. However, due to their past history, the bereaved families experience different traumas and human rights violations for each generation, and have faced a wide range of human rights violations of a different type from the victims. In particular, first-generation bereaved families either directly witnessed the victims' sacrifices or were exposed to human rights violations throughout their lives as a result of their sacrifices. Nonetheless, there is not much research on this issue. This article therefore focuses on the human rights violations and recovery issues experienced by first-generation bereaved families in resolving and recovering from the past.BRAs a case study, this article discusses the violation of human rights (basic rights) and the issue of recovery, focusing on the first generation of the 4·3 bereaved families whose family relationship registers are inconsistent due to the Jeju 4·3 Incident. Through this, we attempted to examine differences in human rights (fundamental rights) violations of bereaved families by different types of incident and generations, in order to propose a future direction for recovery.
