A. Monitoring on Formulation and Implementation of National Action Plan for the
Promotion and Protection of Human Rights
In January 2006, the Commission presented the government its recommendation for
development of NAP to serve as a comprehensive set of principles or guidelines on
formulation of NAP. Upon competition of the 1st Phase NAP, it became necessary to
evaluate the result of the 1st Phase and develop recommendation for the 2nd Phase slated
for 2012 to 2016 in reflection of the latest status and conditions of human rights. The
Commission complied by developing an implementation plan in early February, created an
advisory group consisting of experts to conduct preliminary research and develop
nd
recommendations, and submitted its recommendation for the 2
Phase NAP to the
government as follows:
Recommendations for the 2nd Phase NAP consist of 3 parts : i) overview,
implementation process and approaches, and components of NAP; ii) priority issues
deserving urgent remedies for the duration of next 5 years in pursuit of protection of rights
of 15 socially vulnerable and minority groups (including people with disabilities,
non-regular workers, migrants, refugees, women, children and youth, the elderly, patients,
soldiers and riot/conscripted police, people in protective facilities, sexual minority, Korean
nationals with foreign residency, crime victims, and human rights in North Korea); and iii)
improvement and enhancement of policies needed for development of infrastructure in
pursuit of human rights, advancement of human rights beyond the current status, human
rights education, and cooperation at home and abroad.
The Commission plans to actively carry out monitoring and evaluation on its

recommendation as the government confirms and executes the 2 Phase NAP.
