Frequently Asked Questions
What is South Korea's detention rate?
South Korea does not have a published detention rate from Paris MoU, either because it falls below the inspection threshold or is not covered by this regime.
What list is South Korea on?
South Korea does not appear on either the Paris MoU or Tokyo MoU performance lists.
Official rates are from the 2025 Paris MoU and 2025 Tokyo MoU annual reports, calculated over a rolling three-year window. Detention counts from monitoring cover the most recent 36 months.
