up the "Guidelines on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in Sports" to help
related government agencies and organizations to plan and implement policies on their
own to create a pro-human rights sports environment.
As for projects to promote the rights of the elderly, the Commission formed the 2nd
Guardian of the Rights of the Elderly nationwide and offered education and training,
mainly on Long-Term Care Insurance for the elderly. Upon completion of training,
members of the Guardian group conducted monitoring activities. The Guardian of the
Rights of the Elderly is a kind of empowerment program to help elderly people understand
human rights issues of the elderly and seek solutions to problems, which received a good
reception from participants.
All in all, the year 2010 was one which presented both a crisis and an opportunity for
the Commission in implementing its policy tasks. It was a year when the Commission
explored fields of policy recommendations suitable for the human rights environment at
home and abroad and the public's demand for human rights, while seriously seeking
answers regarding its proper role as a constructive adviser for helping the country join the
ranks of forward-looking advanced countries safeguarding human rights through proactive
intervention and advice.
