近半个世纪以来,韩国逐渐成立了监察专员制度,其国民权益委员会的主要职能与运行效果主要体现在国民申闻鼓、国民苦衷处理、制度改善、防止腐败四个方面。对韩国公众权利救济制度和中国信访制度进行比较,分析两者的共同点,探索目前中国信访制度的困境,可为中国信访制度改革提供有益借鉴。 In the past half a century, South Korea gradually established an Ombudsman system. Its main functions and operational effects are mainly reflected in the four aspects of citizens’ hearing, national treatment, improvement of the system and prevention of corruption. A comparison of the relief system of the public rights in Korea and the system of letters and visits in China, analyzing the common ground between them and exploring the plight of the current system of letters and visits in China can provide useful reference for the reform of the system of letters and visits in China.
