Article 30(1)1 of the Act stipulates that victims may file complaints cases that their human rights, guaranteed by Articles 10 to 22 of the Constitution, are infringed upon with regard to duties performed by government organizations, local governments or detention/protective facilities. The Commission dismisses or rejects cases that do not fall under its investigative jurisdiction or are found unrelated to human rights violations. On the other hand, as for cases acknowledged as human rights violations, it takes necessary measures to prevent recurrence and take remedial actions by making recommendations to the accused or the supervising body. The Commission conducted on-site investigations by visiting detention facilities, welfare facilities for the elderly, and protective facilities for migrants and conducted special investigations to improve human rights in sports, striving to promote human rights of vulnerable groups, including the elderly, migrants and student athletes.
