5) To expand soldiers' participation in managing their barracks life and improve the
rights conditions of low ranking officers; and

In addition to the comprehensive recommendation package, the Commission made
other recommendations, such as improving the right for the small number of females
serving in the army, and improving the strategies and medical treatment systems in place
in the military that are for addressing the problems of those who fail to adapt to their
military service, as this failure to adapt can culminate in suicides and fatal accidents.
K. Policy Recommendation to Improve the Labor Rights of the Staff in the Broadcasting
and Visual Entertainment Industry
The NHRCK developed guidelines on employment contracts in the broadcasting and
visual entertainment industries based on the Investigation of the Human Rights Condition
for Non-Regular Workers in the Culture, Arts, and Sports Industries, which was
conducted in 2011. Then the Commission recommended that the Minister of Culture,
Sports and Tourism introduce a standard labor contract in those industries based on the
guidelines. Also, it recommended that the Minister of Employment and Labor: i) exclude
the movie production and entertainment business from the list of businesses exempt from
the legal limits on overtime work; ii) develop measures to put limits on long working
hours and all-night work to some extent, to provide compensation for night work,
overtime work and holiday work, to ban discrimination based on the type of employment
contract, and to guarantee the four major social insurance schemes and other social
security programs; and iii) strengthen labor inspection to protect human rights related to
labor (October 18, 2012).
