A/HRC/31/70 the perception of injustice. It denies victims their right to justice, and may set a dangerous precedent that will have an adverse impact on future stability and the rule of law. It would also set another dangerous precedent at the international level. 43. In the course of its work, the group should consider experiences from other countries that have undergone transitional justice processes, in particular those where international criminal justice has been involved. At the same time, the group should provide advice that takes into account the unique situation of the Korean peninsula. As a guiding principle, the group should adopt a victim-centric approach to accountability and give due importance to the protection of the dignity of victims. This would include, in particular, taking into account concerns related to women, children and other marginalized groups. 18 44. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the panel comprise two or three experts, possibly including the next mandate holder. The group would be expected to start working in June 2016 for six months, with the possibility of extension. The group could submit an interim report to the Human Rights Council at its thirty-third session and a final report at the thirty-fourth session. 2. Field presence of the Office of the High Commissioner 45. The OHCHR field presence in Seoul continues to play a critical role in preparing for future accountability processes. Together with the documentation by the commission of inquiry, evidence gathered by the Office will be particularly important to achieve a more indepth understanding of the nature and scope of violations, and to determine responsibilities. One key endeavour is the mapping of suspected perpetrators of grave human rights violations and the related chain of command structures. The Office is tasked with undertaking a comprehensive analysis of the structure of the regime. It will also gather the most recent information about developments in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, including recent violations. The Special Rapporteur invites the OHCHR field presence to conduct this work in consultation with partners. In order to gather the most relevant information, the Office must be guaranteed an enabling environment with the full cooperation from all relevant actors, including Governments, and it must be provided with adequate resources to discharge effectively its mandate. III. Conclusions and recommendations 46. Two years have passed since the commission of inquiry published its report, in which it found that crimes against humanity had been and were being committed in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Regrettably, it does not appear that the situation of human rights in the country has improved, and the crimes against humanity documented by the commission appear to continue. While the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has at times indicated its willingness to engage with the international community on some human rights issues, this has not yet led to any tangible improvement in the situation of human rights. 47. The period covered in the present report was characterized by greater interaction between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea. Discussions on the possibility of unification among government actors and other parties in the Republic of Korea appear to be gaining traction. 48.
