(2) In 2022, three studies were completed: A Review Study on Taiwan’s Situation and Development of Migrant Workers in Social Welfare through International Labor Conventions; Comparative Study on Regulation and Protection of Industrial Migrant Workers in Taiwan ; and Legal Strategies to Eliminate Social Discrimination against Indigenous People . Taiwan has established the Council of Indigenous Peoples (CIP), the Hakka Affairs Council (HAC), and the Mongolian and Tibetan Cultural Center under the Ministry of Culture as well as the New Immigrants Development Fund, all of which are dedicated to the preservation of culture, language and other related matters pertaining to their respective ethnic groups. The Indigenous Peoples Basic Law, Hakka Basic Act , and affirmative measures are also in place. Nevertheless, the NHRC believes room for improvement remains in the promotion of equality among ethnic groups, including in access to justice, naturalization, social security, and policy participation. The NHRC expects this independent opinion to be useful to the International Review Committee (IRC) in its review, and recommends that the government establish an oversight mechanism for ICERD to address inequalities and discrimination caused by inadequacies in the legal system or lack of enforcement as well as cultural stereotypes and implicit discrimination against ethnic groups. 5
