ling, Commissioner Chi Hui-jung, and Member Wang Mei-yu acting as cosupervisors. Over a ten-month period, the NHRC clarified issues relating to forced labor, transnational brokerage, complaints mechanism, Flag of Convenience management, transfer of wages, and the differences in the legislation applicable to fishermen employed domestically and overseas. In addition to studying these issues, we also engaged with stakeholders through the hosting of a professional forum on the human rights of fishermen; visited and conducted seminars at Cianjhen fishing harbor in Kaohsiung and Nanfang’ao fishing harbor in Yilan; and hosted four seminars with relevant government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industry operators. Our goal was to develop practical recommendations for the effective resolution of these issues. The sea knows no boundaries and human rights know no bounds. Fishing vessels must still contend with the requirements of international conventions and global regulations on fisheries governance even when they are at sea. Synchronization with international standards is essential for Taiwan to ensure sustainable fisheries. The NHRC is, therefore, working together with the government, the industry, and NGOs to promote, support, and protect human rights for all. Road to Migrant Fishers’ Rights 005
