National champion of human rights
A government-wide framework plan for national human rights policies, spanning introduction of a wide range of human rights protection programs and implementation of international human rights law, is developed by the Bureau. The National Human Rights Action Plan is adopted and its implementation is monitored by the National Human Rights Policy Council. The Bureau engages with the United Nations, domestic and foreign government agencies, the academia and civil society in discharging its mandates of advancement of human rights protection.
Strong protection, support and legal aid for crime victims
we continually revise related legislations and system and closely work with local governments and private institutions. Our legal aid and service programs for marginalized citizens ensure every single person is protected against human rights violations.
Remedy and prevention of human rights violation
We are committed to providing prompt and effective remedy for human rights violations that may take place in the process of undertaking the MOJ’s responsibilities such as prosecution, correction, crime prevention and border control. To significantly improve the human rights situation, we carry out human rights education and conduct fact-finding into the conditions of detention and protection facilities as the preventive mechanism for human rights abuses. We perform regular assessments of human rights protection in the course of administration of legal affairs, and operate the human rights abuses reporting center.
Protection of women and children who are socially vulnerable
We are in charge of establishing legal policies and managing-coordinating the institutional improvement with regard to the prevention measures for crimes against women and children, such as sexual violence and child abuse, and the protection of human rights. We will make a society that is safe and equal for women and children by conducting gender equality education and supporting the appointment of statement assistants and public defenders for the victims.
