5 1. Establishment and Implementation of National Action Plan for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights The Government says that it has established a five-year National Action Plan for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights since 2007, and the National Human Rights Policy Council monitors the establishment and implementation of the plan, the results of which are disclosed and distributed to the general public every year (the fourth periodic State Report para. 4, 5). However, while establishing and implementing the plan and monitoring its progress, the Government hardly seems to listen to enough of opinions of either the NHRCK or any other civil society group and lack efforts to persuade and communicate with them. Question What measures does the Government have to institutionally ensure the participation of the NHRCK and civil society, consider their opinions, and encourage substantive communication with them during the procedures such the establishment, implementation, and implementation monitoring of the NAP? 2. Enhancement of General Human Rights Education The Government reports that human rights education is an integral part of the NAP and it has exerted efforts to enhance human rights awareness and education for government employees and law enforcement officials and at schools, leading to the growing role of the NHRCK in human rights education (para. 9-15). The NHRCK has an on-going project to continuously hold seminars and workshops on human rights education for public sector employees, the results of which are presented by the Government (para. 11). The NHRCK also runs various school education programs on human rights (para. 15).
