The NHRCT has monitored the implementation
of its recommendations to prevent or rectify
human rights violations or to promote
and protect human rights. The follow-up
process of 146 cases were completed. Out
of these, there were 102 cases (69.86%)
where state or private entities implemented
some or all of the NHRCT’s recommendations,
resulting in successful solution of the problems,
such as recommendations on fair hiring practices
or personal data privacy. For the remaining
44 cases (30.14%), the recommendations
could not be implemented due to valid reasons
such as cases pending consideration
of or having been ruled by the court, or
by the NHRCT’s decision on a case-bycase basis.
