President Lee Jae Myung is set to convene a government meeting on Wednesday to address measures aimed at ensuring public safety and safeguarding the rights of individuals impacted by safety incidents. This will be the second plenary session of the national life and safety committee, which will be chaired by Lee at Cheong Wa Dae.
The meeting is anticipated to focus on implementing measures to secure public safety and protect the rights outlined in the public life and safety law, which is slated to commence operations the following Wednesday. The National Assembly approved this legislation on May 7, outlining the responsibilities of both national and local governments in preserving citizens' safety rights, including the entitlements to life, property protection, and safe living conditions.
The law also emphasizes the protection of victims of safety incidents, their families, and witnesses.
Approximately 70 government officials, along with victims of safety incidents and their family members, are scheduled to attend Wednesday's meeting. During the proceedings, officials intend to present the government's safety policies and strategies to mitigate issues such as suicides, unattended deaths, and industrial accidents.
