The government has also failed to implement recommendations made by the International Labour Organisation to bring its laws into conformity with core ILO standards.

Requests by the international union delegation to meet the Korean Labour Minister to discuss the situation were denied by the government, and the Justice Ministry also refused, at the last minute, to allow the delegation to visit Lee in prison.
