Multiculturalism is argued to be a fundamental human right to maintain culture and heritage of human being, and this view is also enshrined in the UNESCO Universal Declarationon Cultural Diversity. Korean society has just entered into the multicultural society. The diversity of cultures in Korea is also often considered as social strength, a source of robustness and capacity. But the problems of civil rights in multicultural society is possessed of characters of problems of human rights of cultural minorities who is social cultural weak. The civil rights that is a inherent rights of human being should be guaranteed for all human kinds, local or not. An international marriage immigrant women and immigrant worker etc who consist multicultural society are social cultural weak. Though they are social minorities, they are also a staple members of multicultural community. Multiculturalism reflects existing diversity, immigration describes how societies and populations evolve in term of populations. Such evolution, in turn, often alters the cultural landscape and provides the basis for the multicultural state or society. Therefore the civil rights guarantee for each cultural subject is the very important not only for building and maintenance it's cultural identity, but also for social integration and political stabilization in multicultural society. Especially in order to the above purpose, regulations and limits on domestic dwelling and settlement, employment activity of marriage immigrant women and immigrant worker, etc should be kept to a minimum. And the fundamental right guarantee which is equal with the native also should be kept. The multiculturalism in Korea which is a monocultural national state, can be a new social ideology to form society for being developed into the more mature democratic cultural state. And the civil rights of social cultural minorities should be preferentially guaranteed before social fundamental rights of minorities
