National Human Rights Commission of the Republic of Korea In addition, it was worth mentioning to push forward with joint cooperation activities with human rights organizations. It is still demanding for the NHRCK to keep on making continuous efforts for the realization of long-term based strong arrangements of cooperation with various civil society organizations specializing in different human rights areas such as women, children, disability, migrants, etc. As for international cooperation, the NHRCK has played a leading role in the international community by organizing the international academic conference in commemoration of the 2013 Pyeongchang Special Winter Olympics, the International Symposium for the Promotion of Human Rights in North Korea, Training Program for Foreigners funded by ODA (Official Development Assistance), among others. As a quasi-judicial body which can take remedial action, the NHRCK continuously made great efforts in 2013 to promote the accessibility of the complaints filing system. The Commission was active in promoting the effectiveness of its investigations and remedial actions. Special investigations and suo moto investigations contributed a great deal to the active response to undisclosed human rights violations and conventional discriminatory acts. In recent years, the Commission's coverage, social human rights issues, and human rights sensitivity of citizens have been growing. As such, it is natural to expect the growth of complaints and featured investigations. The Commission is, therefore, asked to reinforce internal capacity building efforts to secure additional investigation manpower and to enhance the efficiency of investigation work. Introduction ▪▪▪ 25
