A/HRC/37/11 128. The delegation stated that, rising from the ashes of the war, the Republic of Korea had achieved economic development along with democratization and the promotion of human rights. However, the path to democracy had not been easy and the country had been through various reforms and challenges. Civil society had been a driving force in overcoming many challenges. The new Government had set an objective to build a society that upheld fairness, justice and respect for human rights. The Government had recognized the need to improve the protection of human rights in order to meet its international obligations. The recommendations made as part of the universal periodic review would be reflected in the Government’s human rights policy. 129. In conclusion, the delegation reaffirmed the Government’s continuing commitment to working with the international community to create a society where no one was left behind in the Republic of Korea and internationally. Guaranteeing universal human rights could not be achieved by one country alone and, thus, solidarity and cooperation would be crucial. It would be important to maintain effective communication and interaction with international civil society and to garner the collective wisdom not only of the people who were deprived of their due rights, but also of civil society groups, experts and the private sector at the national level. Thus, the Government would continue to work to further advance the promotion and protection of human rights at the national and international levels. II. Conclusions and/or recommendations 130.
