Until now, the Commission not only has provided relief and recommendations on institutional and policy improvement, but also has developed and operated human rights education programs for schools, civil servants and civic groups with the goals of invigorating human rights education and raising awareness of human rights to prevent human rights violations and discrimination. It also strived to develop programs and contents to support these efforts and enhance collaboration with relevant agencies and organizations and create a social and cultural foundation to institutionalize the implementation of human rights education. As a result, interest of people from all walks of life in human rights has been continuously on the rise. The demand for human rights education has been steadily increasing as indicated by the amendments to the Disability Discrimination Act and the Mental Health Act and the enactment of ordinances on human rights by local governments. Despite its reduced human resources, the Commission focused on revamping and stabilizing the operation system of the Human Rights Education Center which it had sought to establish over the past few years. Amid the overall trend of developing the World Program for Human Rights in the international community, the Commission did its utmost to institutionalize various human rights education programs, create a social and cultural environment for implementing human rights, while developing and distributing human rights-related educational and cultural contents on an ongoing basis.
