National Human Rights Commission of Korea Annual Report 2020 Since its inception until the end of 2020, a cumulative total of 114,628 petitions were filed in relation to human rights violations. The largest number of petitions were related to detention facilities (32,748 petitions or 28.6%), followed by multi-user care facilities (28,231 or 24.6%), police (22,406 or 19.5%), and central administrative agencies (6,677 or 5.8%). The largest proportion of petitions was related to detention facilities, multi-user care facilities, and the police. B. Petitions Processed In 2020, the Commission processed 6,385 petitions, which are 251 less than in the previous year. The decrease was expected due to the decreased number of petitions filed, and priorities given to the long-term cases carried over from 2017. In 2020, 634 petitions were remedied in relation to human rights violations, which is 106 (19.6%) more compared to the previous year. This is largely due to an increase in recommendations and disciplinary recommendations, which increased by 48 and 17, respectively, from the previous year. The number of petitions closed by settlement and those resolved during investigation, which had been on a continuous decrease in previous years, also rose by 13 and 31, respectively. By type of institutions, there was a significant increase in the number of petitions remedied related to the police (50 more cases), educational institutions (40 more cases), and the military (25 more cases). For the same reason, the rate of remedied cases rose from 8.0% in 2019 to 10.0% in 2020. The number of petitions closed with a recommendation also increased by 65 compared to the previous year.
