THE WAY FORWARD
The role of protection of human rights is and will be continued to be carried
out by the Commission through its Complaints and Monitoring Division.
Several inquiries into complaints which have yet to be completed in the
year will continue to be followed-up by the Division in 2018. This will include
the public inquiry into the disappearance of individuals. The Division will
also expand its monitoring visits to other detention centres such as military
centres to ensure that the human rights standards are complied with by the
detaining authorities. Realising that such a duty is not easy to be executed,
the Commission has charted some plans to empower the Complaints
and Monitoring Division with more resources and capacity development
programmes. It is hoped that with such trust and focus on the Division, the
protection of human rights will be improved.
