In addition, the Commission enhanced its activities in institutionalizing human rights and broadening the horizons of human rights tasks by proactively presenting its opinions on the process of enacting the North Korean Human Rights Act and the Human Rights Education Support Act in the National Assembly; suggesting that the 2014 ASEM Summit to adopt projects to promote human rights of the elderly; recommending public institutions to comply with the Guidelines and Checklists on Human Rights Management for the implementation and promotion of human rights-sensitive business management; and translating and distributing ICTs and Human Rights into English which was originally published in 2013. As such, the Commission has been fully dedicated to realizing values of respect for human rights and creating a happier society where people are most valued and everyone can enjoy a decent life. I expect the Annual Report, comprehensively presenting and analyzing these efforts, to be a chance for the Commission’s activities to be recognized and future plans developed. I sincerely ask for your continuous support, care, and criticism for the improvement of the Commission. To meet your expectations, the Commission will continue to step up its efforts to lighten the disadvantaged and dark sides of society and create a better world for all. Thank you for your attention. Hyun, Byung-chul Chairperson National Human Rights Commission of the Republic of Korea
