Annual Report 2013 also informed the Commission of the Ministry's plan to make institutional improvement. For instance, the Ministry would review the Commission's recommendations for inclusion in the Ministry's guidelines for government contracts. F. Recommendation to Improve the Guardianship for Adults The recently revised Civil Act repealed the concept of incapacity of acting, and introduced the concept of guardianship for adults. The guardianship for adults was to be in effect from July 1, 2013. The Commission, however, found that related government entities and the Judiciary were not fully ready for the introduction of the concept of guardianship for adults. As such, the Commission recommended the Chief Justice, the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Health and Welfare, on May 16, 2013 that they should make institutional improvement for full operation of the guardianship for adults system. The NHRCK, in this regard, issued recommendations to the Chief Justice. They include: granting, in principle, the incapacitated person an opportunity of statement in the adjudication proceedings of the petition for adult guardianship; participation of a communications expert or reliable person to correctly understand the intention of the incapacitated person; hearing the opinions of various related persons to provide guardian services needed in daily life; securing necessary human resources including family affairs inspectors for the supervision of guardianship; and inclusion in the family litigation regulations of guardians' duty to report on guardian work. 38 ▪▪▪ Part II.
