3.3 Establishing a human rights database to keep track of international
human rights trends and disseminate human rights information
1.
Reason for selection
In order to showcase the Commission’s unique role in human rights
affairs and its global perspective, the NHRC plans to create the Center
for Human Rights Information, where a wide range of human rights
materials will be curated. In addition to being an invaluable source of
information for the NHRC’s research projects, the Center will be
tasked with translating human rights literature and disseminating
human rights information, allowing Taiwan stay on top of international
human rights trends.
2.
Significance
To facilitate research and foster a global perspective, the NHRC is
actively seeking to introduce new software and hardware facilities to
its library, expand its collection of books, e-books, case studies, papers,
and multimedia materials, translate and publish important human
rights literature, keep track of global human rights trends, and promote
human rights-related writings, picture books, and teaching materials.
3.
Expected outcomes
By leveraging digital technology, the NHRC will continue to expand
its human rights database and library collection, turning them into a
crucial source of reference, a homebase for human rights research, and
a foundation for the popularization and promotion of human rights
knowledge.
