- Abstract
- DNA-Information is used to solve a criminal case or to establish a match between the suspect of a particular criminal case and other unsolved crimes. However, DNA-Information on its own is not entirely reliable evidence as this scientific technology produces errors with a certain probability. The use of DNA Information in criminal proceedings is in conflict with the protection of individual's genetic informational privacy. Although England and Wales, Germany and South Korea have different legal provisions on the use of DNA-Information, in all these legal orders there are similar problems. Therefore, there is a need for appropriate legislative criteria which balance the protection of individual's genetic informational privacy relating to DNA and the effectiveness of the criminal justice system in a society which employs all the available modern forensic technologies.
