Part 2 | Introduction primary data. It uses the collected data to develop and implement national human rights policies. Every year, the Commission reviews the relevance of statistics, making updates, developing new statistics, and eliminating outdated ones. As of 2022, a comprehensive set of 467 national statistics was established, consisting of 417 compiled statistics and 50 survey-based statistics. Notably, in 2022, a human rights awareness survey was conducted, targeting individuals aged 18 and above. The survey aimed to gather statistics on subjective human rights experiences and perceptions that cannot be captured through existing approved statistics and data sources. The Commission has made efforts to establish standards for human rights policies as an independent national human rights institution. In March, ahead of the inauguration of the new government, the Commission presented the ten major human rights issues to the Presidential Transition Committee for inclusion in the national agenda. In July, the Commission selected and presented 100 key tasks for the fourth NAP, for implementation over five years from 2023. Furthermore, the Commission published and distributed the 2021 Report on the Human Rights Situation in Korea, which summarizes and analyzes the human rights situation in the country. In addition, during the annual meeting of the APF on September 15, the Chairperson of the Commission was elected as the Chair of the APF for a two-year term. This provides an opportunity for the Commission to play a leading role in enhancing cooperation among national human rights institutions in the Asia Pacific region and contributing to international discussions on important human rights issues. The Commission made efforts to strengthen the investigative capacity and expertise of its members in various ways, such as establishing judgment criteria for different types of cases (focusing on the Police and the Prosecution), developing a practical manual for handling workplace harassment cases, translating Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights concerning discrimination and representative judgments from the European Court of Human Rights, and outsourcing monitoring services for establishing criteria on disability discrimination. 71 Part 2 | Introduction 7) Building Expertise and Independence of the NHRCK
