The history of human civilization can be defined as an evolutional process which requires man to have social and moral responsibility to the individuals with disabilities.
The basis of recognition to the social and moral responsibility evolves from social paternalism to respect for individual dignity, personal responsibility, self and pursuit of meaningful careers of individuals with disabilities.
Though the number of people with disabilities is increasing, our recognition has reached just mercy and concern level. Futhermore, many legislations related with the handicapped are not properly made out such as some abstract and restrictive provisions of anti-discrimination, lack of sanction provisions against and remedies from the discriminative act.
Fortunately, through enacting "The Act of Prohibition of Discrimination and Remedy for People with Disabilities", we have new opportunity to protect human rights of people with disabilities from many kinds of discrimination.
This paper examines the meaning and legislative process of this act, and then studies about main provisions of this act.
