As such, the Commission recommended that the head of Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs "assess the condition of the tinnitus victims of discharged soldiers (including those with hearing difficulties) by conducting a comprehensive investigation." (September 6, 2012). J. Recommendation to Improve Policies and Institutional Systems to Instill a Pro-Human Rights Culture into the Military The NHRCK observed that the public attention and social concern is growing about firearm accidents in the Marine Corps, suicides in the military, sexual harassment, those who fail to adapt to the military environment, and other issues that unfold in the military; therefore, the Commission judged that it was necessary to develop an integrated plan to improve the relevant policies and institutional systems in addition to dealing with individual remedies initiated from complaints. As such, the Commission formed the “Policy Planning Group to Improve Human Rights Conditions in the Military." The Group held four discussion sessions and an open forum meeting to review the results of the investigation into human rights conditions in the military, cases of complaints and ensuing recommendations, and military legislation in developed countries. As a result, the Commission made the following recommendations to the Minister of National Defense (October 11, 2012): 1) To establish “the Military Human Rights Act”; 2) To devise practical solutions to preventing human rights violations such as battery and harsh acts; 3) To designate the human rights education program as a course that is directly controlled by the Ministry of National Defense and come up with other measures to raise human rights sensitivity; 48 Part II.
