Agenda Arc

Curated

Global purpose, Korean purpose, and precursor stages. Reasoning echo is discourse observation — not proof of coordination.

Global purpose

Enable prosecution of torture under universal-jurisdiction logic from CAT, via Criminal Act / ICC crimes statute updates.

Korean purpose

대한민국은 「형법」 제6조(대한민국 영역 외에서의 죄)와 「형사소송법」을 통해 CAT 보편적 관할권 원칙을 이행한다. 2022년 「국제형사재판소(ICC) 범죄 처벌법」 개정으로 고문을 반인도범죄로 규정하고 보편적 관할권을 명시했다.
