Abstract
Despite its importance, academic interest in the national support system for victims of terrorism has been relatively overshadowed compared to the focus on terrorism prevention and response. The enactment of the “Anti-terrorism Act” in 2016 marked a pivotal moment by incorporating provisions related to the ‘support for terrorism victims’ and the provision of ‘special consolation funds’, thereby establishing the framework of the current system. However, preceding studies and subsequent research outcomes are not only scarce in quantity but also limited in content, primarily focusing on the analysis of specific individual support measures. Above all, there is virtually no attempt to evaluate whether South Korea’s support for victims of terrorism is appropriate. Therefore, this paper aims to contribute to laying the groundwork for the perspective and evaluation of the entire system for victims of terrorism in South Korea. By presenting the fundamental outline of the considerations for the design and evaluation, the paper seeks to facilitate a foundational understanding and assessment of the system.
