Through this planning effort, the Commission was able to shed light on the need for this type of organization. Also, given the increasing demand for human rights education, the reinforcement of the human rights instructor training programme is significant in that it lays the foundation for a stable and appropriate use of human rights instructors. The Commission also strengthened its network for cooperation on human rights education. These efforts include development of human rights education content by topic, joint educational programmes with relevant organizations, hosting of meetings of the special committee for human rights education and council meetings, and establishment of an educational council for training on the human rights of persons with disabilities.
