(9) Develop supply chain human rights due diligence guidelines and social responsibility standards for fisheries As mentioned earlier in the second phase of the “US-Taiwan 21st Century Trade Initiative” negotiations, the US aims to prevent products made with forced labor from advancing further along the supply chain. Imported products should be banned, and domestic market products should be removed from shelves. Similarly, the European Parliament has passed the EUFLR. However, Taiwan currently lacks corresponding regulations, necessitating the establishment of a stronger legal framework. In addition, many countries have already enacted laws explicitly defining supply chain due diligence responsibilities. The European Union has formally adopted the CSDDD, requiring EU member States to incorporate the directive into national laws within two years. In Taiwan, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has proposed the “Taiwan's Draft Guidelines for Enterprises to Respect Human Rights in the Supply Chain,” which includes implementing human rights due diligence and establishing effective grievance mechanisms. Taiwan's distant water fisheries occupy a pivotal position in the global industry supply chain. Sustainable fisheries are only achievable through sustainable human rights development under global fisheries governance standards. The NHRC recommends that Taiwan draw on international conventions and fishery-specific social responsibility certification standards to define social responsibility standards for marine product suppliers. By developing human rights due diligence guidelines tailored to the fishery industry, the sector will have consistent standards to follow, ensuring human rights in fisheries are safeguarded through a responsible supply chain. 138
