Chairperson's Foreword
Human rights are inherent and perpetual factors of our daily lives. Human rights are
embedded in every moment of everyday life of people in which they preserve dignity
of every person and enable people to lead decent lives Unlike our day that comes to an
end with a sunset, however, the pursuit of human rights never end One doesn't need to
look any further for evidences than the history and accomplishments of the mankind’s
fight for human rights or endless trials and tribulations that continue to challenge us.
Human rights are proud products of our dreams and imaginations. Just as a
collective determination to turn their dreams and imaginations into a reality led to the
birth and proliferation of civilization, human rights came to be defined and accepted as
a universal value in a similar process.
The NHRCK is committed to follow the similar path. Collective power of
aspirations and passion of people with dreams and ideas for human rights have made
the NHRCK of today. That is why we take these opportunities yearly to reflect on
where we stand and whether we live up to our missions.
2011 marked the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the NHRCK. We
organized diverse events to look back on the journey and to jump-start a new
beginning. In doing so, we realized once again that this journey of human rights is an
endless one that must go on, and we reaffirmed our vow to serve people who suffer in
dark corners of our society with greater determination and humbleness.
The annual report is published to report the activities of the NHRCK during the year
