A/HRC/22/10 57. The National Police Agency established a task force to counter child pornography, and strengthened control over the making, dissemination and possession of child pornography. 58. As the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, CRC and CRPD provide for economic, social and cultural rights, and decision criteria for violations may vary according to available resources of individual States, ratification of the optional protocols required more considered deliberation. 59. Ratification of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (ICRMW) would be carefully examined, taking into account the special characteristics of the country’s labour market and the need for social consensus. 60. The Government had been undertaking thorough preparations for accession to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in respect of Intercountry Adoption. For instance, international adoption previously overseen by private adoption agencies would be overseen by the Government. The Government would also monitor closely the recently launched “court permit system”, prior to ratifying the Hague Convention. 61. Under the Single Parent Family Support Act, support for childcare, education and living subsidies were provided. For low-income single mothers there were self-support and employment-package programmes with counselling and training to enable the families to become financially independent and viable. Moreover, relevant laws and school regulations had been amended to help teenage parents stay in school. 62. Through the amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 2011, the Government had completely banned all forms of corporal punishment. Schools were required to collect the opinions of students, parents and teachers to establish and employ their own discipline methods and standards. The Child Welfare Act had been amended as of 5 August 2012 to strengthen the ban on corporal punishment in child welfare facilities and in homes. 63. To reduce the educational gap resulting from differences in income levels and regional background, the Government was providing the disadvantaged with systematic and comprehensive support in the areas of education, culture and welfare. The Government was diversifying the forms of high schools. It was also expanding the Admissions Officer System, which evaluated a student’s aptitudes and skills rather than simply comparing exam scores for college admission, with a view to alleviating excessive competition. The Government had tightened regulations on the private education market. 64. Given the special security situation of the Republic of Korea, the introduction of an alternative system for conscientious objectors to military service could be considered when positive changes in inter-Korean relations as well as the security landscape occurred, and when a national social consensus for accepting such an alternative system existed. The Constitutional Court had ruled that the clause in the Military Service Act was constitutional. A bill to amend the Military Service Act to introduce alternative military service had been proposed, but discarded, in the National Assembly. 65. Kuwait appreciated the positive steps taken with regard to the second national human rights plan of action. It commended the expansion of competences for the national human rights institution and other positive legislative and institutional developments since the first review. Kuwait made recommendations. 66. Kyrgyzstan welcomed the expanded scope of the NHRC and the withdrawal of reservations to human rights instruments. It appreciated the establishment of the crime victims’ support fund and the enactment of the Gender Impact Assessment and Analysis 9
