Multilingual semantic similarity
cosine similarity (method detail)0.808

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.808); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Agenda Arc

Curated

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

Global purpose

Align juvenile justice with CRC standards — diversion, age thresholds, and ongoing “촉법소년” age debates.

Korean purpose

대한민국은 「소년법」(1958년 제정, 2007년 전면 개정)과 「형법」을 통해 CRC 소년사법 기준을 이행한다. 소년법은 만 19세 미만 소년에 대한 보호처분 우선, 형사처벌의 최후수단성, 소년원·소년교도소의 성인 분리 수용을 규정한다.

형법 — 대한민국은 「소년법」(1958년 제정, 2007년 전면 개정)과 「형법」을 통해 CRC 소년사법 기준을 이행한다. 소년법은 만 19세 미만 소년에 대한 보호처분 우선, 형사처벌의 최후수단성, 소년원·소년교도소의 성인 분리 수용을 규정한다.

Reasoning echo

Observed framing link: CRC Juvenile Justice Standards → Korea Juvenile Justice Reform | detention as a measure of last resort → 구금의 최후수단성. Not a claim of coordination.
