| Resumen: |
Este libro cuenta la historia de la transformación de Taiwán de un régimen autoritario a un sistema democrático donde los derechos humanos están protegidos como lo exigen los tratados internacionales de derechos humanos. Hubo tiempos difÃciles para la protección de los derechos humanos durante la era de la ley marcial; sin embargo, a partir de entonces también se han producido notables avances en la transformación de la protección de los derechos humanos. El libro refleja la transformación en Taiwán y explica si su tradición confuciana la facilita o la obstaculiza. Hay una serie de acuerdos institucionales, incluido el Tribunal Constitucional, el Yuan de Control y la Comisión Nacional de Derechos Humanos, aún por crear, que podrÃan desempeñar o ya han desempeñado ciertos papeles clave en la protección de los derechos humanos. La aceptación voluntaria por parte de Taiwán de los tratados de derechos humanos a través de su legislación de implementación y mediante la introducción de dichos tratados por parte del Tribunal Constitucional en su interpretación constitucional también se expone plenamente en el libro. Las ONG de Taiwán son muy activas y han desempeñado un papel fundamental en la mejora de las prácticas de derechos humanos. En las áreas de derechos civiles y polÃticos, siguen sin resolverse difÃciles cuestiones de derechos humanos relacionadas con la pena de muerte. Pero con respecto a los derechos y libertades en las esferas de la libertad personal, la expresión, la privacidad y el juicio justo (incluida la participación lega en juicios penales), hay discusiones en profundidad sobre los respectivos desarrollos en Taiwán que los lectores encontrarán interesantes. En las áreas de derechos económicos, sociales y culturales, el libro se centra en los logros y los problemas en la realización de los derechos a la salud, un medio ambiente limpio, una vivienda adecuada y una alimentación. La protección de los grupos vulnerables, incluidos los pueblos indÃgenas, las mujeres, las personas LGBT (lesbianas, gays, bisexuales y transgénero), los discapacitados y los extranjeros en Taiwán, son también áreas en las que Taiwán ha logrado logros reconocibles, pero aún enfrenta problemas. La cobertura integral de este libro deberÃa poder brindar a los lectores una imagen completa del desempeño de Taiwán en materia de derechos humanos. Los lectores encontrarán atractiva la historia del esfuerzo por lograr altos estándares de protección de los derechos humanos en una jurisdicción a la que se le prohÃbe adherirse a las convenciones internacionales de derechos humanos. |

| Summary : |
This book tells a story of Taiwan's transformation from an authoritarian regime to a democratic system where human rights are protected as required by international human rights treaties. There were difficult times for human rights protection during the martial law era; however, there has also been remarkable transformation progress in human rights protection thereafter. The book reflects the transformation in Taiwan and elaborates whether or not it is facilitated or hampered by its Confucian tradition. There are a number of institutional arrangements, including the Constitutional Court, the Control Yuan, and the yet-to-be-created National Human Rights Commission, which could play or have already played certain key roles in human rights protections. Taiwan's voluntarily acceptance of human rights treaties through its implementation legislation and through the Constitutional Court's introduction of such treaties into its constitutional interpretation are also fully expounded in the book. Taiwan's NGOs are very active and have played critical roles in enhancing human rights practices. In the areas of civil and political rights, difficult human rights issues concerning the death penalty remain unresolved. But regarding the rights and freedoms in the spheres of personal liberty, expression, privacy, and fair trial (including lay participation in criminal trials), there are in-depth discussions on the respective developments in Taiwan that readers will find interesting. In the areas of economic, social, and cultural rights, the focuses of the book are on the achievements as well as the problems in the realization of the rights to health, a clean environment, adequate housing, and food. The protections of vulnerable groups, including indigenous people, women, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) individuals, the disabled, and foreigners in Taiwan, are also the areas where Taiwan has made recognizable achievements, but still encounters problems. The comprehensive coverage of this book should be able to give readers a well-rounded picture of Taiwan's human rights performance. Readers will find appealing the story of the effort to achieve high standards of human rights protection in a jurisdiction barred from joining international human rights conventions. |
