An Chang-ho, the chair of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea (NHRC), revealed that during a special review interview with the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) held on October 27 in Geneva, he was questioned about the NHRC's measures related to human rights violations during a constitutional crisis on December 3. In his responses, he emphasized that the NHRC has normalized its operations and moved past unnecessary controversies. This marked the first public disclosure of this information four months following the GANHRI review, after previously refusing to submit it to the National Assembly on the grounds of confidentiality.

A key point in An's responses was his assertion of actions taken by the NHRC to address human rights violations related to the December 3 crisis. He reported that on December 11, 2024, a statement would be issued by the NHRC chair highlighting the risks of human rights infringements during the martial law, as well as the deployment of investigators to monitor potential rights violations occurring between police and protesters at gatherings. Furthermore, during the impeachment proceedings, An indicated the NHRC's commitment to upholding due process, and recommendations were also made to the Minister of National Defense regarding the protection of soldiers deployed under emergent martial law.

The discussion of 'Yoon's right to defense' came from a proposal passed on February 10 that emphasized compliance with legal procedures, a move that had sparked controversy over potential endorsement of insurrection. An's comments positioned this proposal as a part of the measures the NHRC is taking to respond to human rights issues, showcasing how the Commission is navigating the delicate balance between upholding rights and engaging with state power amid evolving political circumstances in Korea.
