A/HRC/26/43 priority to vulnerable groups in the distribution of international assistance (recommendation 61). 32. Several of the recommendations accepted by the State concern protection issues and raising public awareness, with particular reference to victims of trafficking in persons, for example, that it establish a government task force to create protection programmes, provide resources for recovery and promote prevention through education and media campaigns (recommendation 27); step up measures to address comprehensively the problem of trafficking and violence against women, including by increasing public awareness campaigns (recommendation 69); and strengthen measures, including through international dialogue and cooperation, to combat human trafficking and provide appropriate assistance to victims of trafficking (recommendation 68). The Special Rapporteur believes, however, that such measures should be calibrated carefully to avoid restricting freedom of movement and the right to leave the country. 3. Structural reforms: the rights to food, health and education 33. Recommendations concerning the rights to food, health, education, water economic and social rights in general, humanitarian cooperation, and development also featured prominently among those accepted (recommendations 30-36, 60, 88-94, 96, 97, 99, 100105, 109, 112-115 and 117). They included recommendations concerning the implementation of a national plan of action of education for all with a view to improving the quality of the system of 11 years of compulsory, free, universal education, increasing progressively the necessary resources allocated for this purpose (recommendation 30); securing the right to food for all citizens, in particular in order to secure the right to health for children (recommendation 90); taking the steps necessary to ensure impartial access to adequate food, drinking water and other basic necessities for all people within the State’s jurisdiction, including vulnerable groups (recommendation 92); and strengthening cooperation with the United Nations and its mechanisms on human rights and humanitarian matters with a view to building national capacities and improving the people’s well-being (recommendation 114). In particular, the Government also indicated that it had accepted the recommendation that the State continue efforts to reinvigorate the national economy by, inter alia, allowing more freedom for people to engage in economic and commercial activities (recommendation 88). 34. On structural reforms and the allocation of resources, the Government indicated that it had accepted recommendations to invest sufficient resources to promote and protect the principle of equality in the fields of work, education and health (recommendation 59); to allocate resources equitably and to implement food security policies, including through sustainable agricultural practices and reduced State restrictions on the cultivation and trade of foodstuffs (recommendation 94); to increase resources allocated to the education sector for better quality of education, and to encourage the authorities to continue their efforts in this area (recommendation 103); and to work on overcoming the obstacles related to economic problems and the scarcity of resources through cooperation with the international community and the United Nations so as to ensure the promotion and protection of human rights (recommendation 115). The Special Rapporteur is keen to see these commitments translated into a real readjustment of the State’s songbun military first policy, which prioritizes militarization in the allocation of limited resources. 4. Family reunions 35. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea also indicated that it had accepted to guarantee separated families’ fundamental right to know the fate of their family members across the border and to communicate and regularly meet together; do everything possible, in cooperation with the Republic of Korea, to ensure that the maximum number of meetings of separated families is organized, take concrete steps to continue the process of family 11
