CSuggestive similarity
Evidence tier

Echo patterns are similarity-based hypotheses, not proof of causation. Open the sources and evaluate the linkage yourself.

Evidence Scorecard

A single score cannot prove an echo. This card triangulates semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.

Suggestive similarity
Semantic
Strong semantic alignment
Temporal
Global precedent precedes Korea
Linkage
No recorded linkage
Tier C — Suggestive similarity — semantic or keyword overlap + plausible timing
Multilingual semantic similarity
cosine similarity (method detail)0.787

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.787); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Could also be…

  • •Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
  • •Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.
  • •A common external shock (e.g., financial crisis, pandemic) could explain parallel adoption.

Cross-lingual similarity 36/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.

Similarity type: policy adoption + pending legislative emulation

Caveat: semantic similarity only — this tier records a hypothesis, not proof of causal influence.

Original (Global)

The UN Guiding Principles② on Business and Human Rights① (UNGPs), unanimously endorsed by the UN Human Rights Council on June 16, 2011 and developed by Special Representative John Ruggie, established the global Protect-Respect-Remedy framework requiring states to protect against corporate human rights abuses, businesses to respect human rights through due diligence③, and both to ensure access to remedy. They remain the foundational international standard for corporate human rights responsibility and have catalyzed mandatory supply chain due diligence③ legislation worldwide.

Echo (Korea)

한국은 2018년 8월 9일 국무회의에서 의결된 제3차 국가인권정책기본계획(NAP, 2018-2022)에 '기업의 인권 존중 책임 강화' 챕터를 신설하여 UNGPs를 정책에 처음으로 반영하였고, 2023년 제4차 NAP(2023-2027)에서도 이를 유지·강화하였다. 법무부는 2023년 2월 기업인권 실사③ 절차를 안내하는 '기업과 인권① 가이드라인'을 발간하였으며, 국가인권위원회는 인권경영(인권실사③) 의무화를 공공기관에 권고·이행하고 있다(2014년 가이드라인 수립 이후 860개 이상 공공기관으로 확대). 아울러 공급망 전반의 인권·환경 실사③를 강제화하는 '기업의 지속가능한 경영을 위한 인권·환경 보호에 관한 법률안'(기업인권환경실사③법)이 2023년 9월 첫 발의, 2025년 6월 13일 재발의, 2025년 11월 4일 세 번째 발의되어 국회 심의 중이다.

Score Guide
Confidence — Editorial judgment, now shown as a confidence tier (A–D) based on semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence. Not proof of causation.
Echo Strength — Metadata completeness score. Rewards verified sources, paired links, explicit dates, keyword diversity, and origin tags.
Vocabulary Overlap — Heuristic score measuring shared tokens between global and Korean texts. Reflects loanwords and repeated terms, not meaning across languages.
