Human Rights Counseling and Complaint Filing In 2013, the NHRCK received 10,050 complaints, 35,508 counseling applications, and 36,670 civil petitions and inquiries for instructional information (regarding investigations, the filing process, and other organizations). The figures were increased by 468 (5.0%), 6,241 (21.3%), and 5,728 (18.5%) respectively compared with 2012. In case of civil petitions and inquiries, the rate of increase is not very high because simple inquiries of, for example, telephone numbers have not included since 2009. Since 2012, however, the rate of increase has grown by a great degree. 106 ▪▪▪ Part II. Major Activities of the Commission
