In its opinion letter, submitted to the UN CRPD, it presented the social areas where disability discrimination most frequently occurs and major issues which have led to repeated complaints due to the failure of positive remedies despite the improvement recommendations of the Commission, based on a comprehensive analysis of complaints filed to the Commission. The policy recommendations, improvement recommendations, and opinions expressed by the NHRCK were also included in the opinion letter. In addition, the NHRCK met the UN CRPD commissioners to ensure that the deficiencies in implementing the state’s duties to promote and protect the human rights of persons with disabilities as a state party of the Convention be fully reflected in the Concluding Observations to the 1st State Report of Korea. As a result, many of its opinions were reflected in the Concluding Observations to the 1st State Report of Korea. On November 7, the Commission hosted a forum on measures to enhance implementation of the UN CRPD with the aim of raising public awareness of the Convention and encouraging the government to proactively implement the recommendations found in the Concluding Observations.
