이행기 정의 관점에서 본 한국의 과거사 정리와 의의에 대한 고찰: 동학농민혁명과 일제강점기 강제동원 사례를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to consider Korea's historical readjustment and its meaning in connection with the perspective of transitional justice. In particular, the subjects of consideration were the Donghak Peasant Revolution and the case of forced mobilization under Japanese Ruling. In general, the transitional justice uses various methods such as finding out the truth, punishing the person in charge, improving the system, and commemorating the victims for inhumane acts such as human rights violations or war crimes in the past. So, it deals with the process of progressing toward peace, reconciliation, and integration of the problematic parties. Korea's historical readjustment for the two cases was carried out in specific ways such as finding the truth of the victims, compensation for victims, and commemorative projects from the perspective of transitional justice. First of all, the historical readjustment of the Donghak Peasant Revolution was promoted by focusing on the registration, memorial and commemoration of the participants of the Donghak Peasant Revolution, and data researches and academic researches. Through this, the spirit of human equality and respect in the Donghak Peasant Revolution was preserved as a spiritual asset to be remembered and commemorated by us. Meanwhile, the historical readjustment of the Forced Mobilization under Japanese ruling was promoted in the way to restore the honor of victims who were victims of forced exploitation and forced mobilization by the Japanese colonial rule, and to derive national compensation and compensation for the perpetrators. At the same time, it attempted to secure official records of victims, link them to academic research, and form a global consensus and solidarity. It is our responsibility to live in the present to find out the truth of the damage that has been done forcibly by Japan between the period of Donghak Peasant Revolution and Japanese Ruling, to remember and comfort them. The national effort to clean up the historical readjustment of the Donghak Peasant Revolution and the Forced Mobilization under Japanese Ruling is of great significance in that respect.
