Our Efforts and Transformation
protesting and would-be fugitive East Germans
under the East German regime was similar to the
exercise of authoritarian rule that lasted for 38
years in Taiwan under martial law. Additionally,
measures for transitional justice and human
rights education including the gathering and
disclosing of all records of the Ministry for State
Security (1950–1990) of East Germany after
German reunification under the Stasi Records
Act (Das Stasi-Unterlagen-Gesetz, StUG)
provided Taiwan with an example to follow.
f. Participation in Global Cooperation and
Training Framework (GCTF) Conference
Taiwan and the US signed an MOU in 2015 to
establish a Global Cooperation and Training
Framework (GCTF), aiming to demonstrate
Taiwan’s advantages and expertise. Officials
and experts from Asian-Pacific countries were
also invited to the conference to further expand
Taiwan’s international space.
In 2021 we participated in two GCTF webinars.
The first webinar on “Road to Parity: Women’s
Participation in Public Life” was held in October
by five countries, including Taiwan, the US,
Japan, Australia, and Canada. The second
one on “The Implementation of the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities” was held in November
by Taiwan, the US, Japan, Australia, and Israel.
The GCTF Conference on Ending Gender-Based
Violence in May 2022 was held by the Gender
Equality Committee and Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Executive Yuan together with six
countries including the US, Japan, Australia,
the UK, Canada, and Israel and the European
Economic and Trade Office. We reported on
the relevant laws and regulations for preventing
gender-based violence and their inadequacy, on
issues of child and youth sexual assault, and the
questions that concerned the IRC members of
our national reports on international human rights.
