from liability for comments made in the course of their duties. However, the Committee’s recommendation in the 4th Concluding Observations (2015) – i.e., “to establish an independent committee to nominate candidates (of the NHRCK)” – has not yet been fulfilled. 14. When the NHRCK was re-accredited with A status by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) Sub-committee on Accreditation (SCA) in October 2021, the GANHRI SCA recommended the NHRCK to “advocate the establishment of a single independent selection committee in the National Human Rights Commission Act or other administrative guidelines.13” In the similar vein, an amendment to the National Human Rights Commission Act to install the independent candidate nomination committee was proposed by a lawmaker and is currently pending in the National Assembly. The NHRCK also considers proposing the amendment to the National Human Rights Commission Act to establish a new provision on the formation of the independent candidate nomination committee.14 Under the National Human Rights Commission Act, the authorities to nominate and appoint the NHRCK commissioners consist of various players: the President, the National Assembly, and the Supreme Court. Thus, the consensus and cooperation of the three bodies above are required for the set-up of the independent nomination committee for the NHRCK commissioners. 15. Additionally, the GANHRI SCA recommended the NHRCK that it should strive to have the National Human Rights Commission Act amended to enhance its independence vis-à-vis the National Finance Act.15 16. Proposed recommendation: In order to ensure transparency and participation in the process of selection and appointment of the NHRCK commissioners, the State party should establish a provision for the nomination committee for candidates of the NHRCK commissioners in the National Human Rights Commission Act. The State party should also strengthen the human resources of the NHRCK and promote legal amendments necessary for the NHRCK to gain financial independence.16 Issue 4. Business and Human Rights 17. The Government set out a chapter on “businesses and human rights” in the 3rd NAP (2018-2022) to undertake policy tasks that enhance corporate responsibility to respect human rights and prevent the human right abuses against local workers while operating business abroad. However, the implementation of these policy tasks and the institutionalization of human rights due diligence still remain insufficient. 18. In order to prevent corporate violations of human rights and ensure effective remedies for damage caused by businesses, it is necessary to legislate the human rights due diligence of business entities which includes the identification of negative impacts of corporate activities 5
