Human Rights What Are the Roadblocks in an Otherwise Progressive Path?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Despite being excluded from the United Nations (UN), Taiwan voluntarily participated in numerous international treaties related to human rights, contributing to its positive reputation in this field. Additionally, Taiwan&apos;s non-governmental and human rights sector is very diverse and active. Civil society has played a crucial role in pushing Taiwan to come to terms with its dark past, the White Terror, and to ensure transitional justice and acceptance of international human rights treaties. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) enjoy significant support and serve as a source of soft power abroad, ensuring Taiwan&apos;s presence in institutions or platforms where its international political status would otherwise not allow it. NGOs are also instrumental in advocating for women&apos;s rights and lLGBTQI+ rights, contributing to the increased participation of women in politics and the adoption of the same-sex marriage law. Today, Taiwan presents itself as the only culturally Chinese democracy and one of the advanced democracies in Asia, alongside Japan and South Korea. However, despite its progressive tendencies, Taiwan still faces a number of human rights challenges. For example, why does a modern country like Taiwan lack a refugee policy? Why does Taiwan still practice the death penalty? How does Taiwanese society treat migrants from Southeast Asia? And finally, how did Taiwan handle the coronavirus pandemic?
