With the Japanese imperialist government established the Residency- General in February 1906, because it gave Isachung jurisdiction of Japanese residents in Korea, Isachung's official or assistant Isakwan was received Extraterritoriality of Japanese residents by it. Korea was already degraded to the status of a colony of Japan since the establishment of Residency-General. In the early stage of Residency- General, the circumstances of Korea remained completely with the mists of miserable situation, what is more the Japanese residents committed all kinds of crimes on the object of the Korean people, including incessant persecution and excessive ill-abuse.
On the whole, the commonly Japanese crimes was assumed that Japanese civilian who be resident in Korea inflicted an injury upon Korean people, besides murder, larceny, and so on. Japanese soldiers in Korea did harm to Korean People as much Japanese civilian, Including larceny, intrusion of Land murder, and beating.
As a matter of courtesy The Japanese imperialist government, however, dealt with one's fellow countrymen's matters in relation to such crimes. Occasionally It decided a case with consular jurisdiction under diplomatic consideration. Under several consular jurisdiction Japanese bureau of judicial affairs had tried a prison sentence sometimes but came to the nothing on the whole. cases under prison sentence was imposed to a light penalty for the most part. The case of murder was sentenced to 2 or 3 years imprisonment and the case of crimes such as beating, injury, and illegal excavation was sentenced to short prison term.
When it happen to Japanese civilian's crimes in korea, Korean bureau of judicial affairs entered to negotiations with Japanese consul, demanded impartial judgement through and under the supervision on the side of korea. But in due to the insincere attitude of Japanese side, the negotiations between Korea and Japan failed to realize the anticipated result.
In conclusion, Japanese consular jurisdiction was made progress to be favorable for Japan's fellow countrymen one-sidely during the Rule of the Residency-General. But inefficient capability of Korean side in relation to Japan's use of Extraterritoriality aggravated the damage or loss of Korean people.
