公約簡介

The "International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination" of the UN mandates that States Parties condemn racial discrimination and commit to outlawing and putting an end to it by any means necessary, including passing laws as the need arises.

台灣執行狀況

Taiwan requested the Ministry of the Interior to implement and promote this agreement in 2013, in accordance with a resolution of the Presidential Office Human Rights Consultative Committee, verifying that our nation had signed and ratified it before leaving the UN. This convention already has the force of domestic law because it is a treaty.

The Ministry of the Interior actively managed both domestic and international evaluations in 2018. The promotion plan established by the Ministry of the Interior was approved by the Executive Yuan in 2020.

ICERD National report

Before Taiwan left the UN, it was legally accepted and ICERD was signed. International treaties that have gone into effect have the same legal status as domestic laws. Taiwan released the ICERD's initial national report in 2022.

Advocating the equality of cultural pluralism

The ICERD national report views multiculturalism as a central tenet and advocates for the three main structures of " revitalization of minority language and cultural," "basic human rights protection and life adaptation," and "indigenous people's history and transitional justice." Look at how the government has implemented the goals of the ICERD national report "Implementing Racial Equality and Eliminating Racial Discrimination" at various levels, such as policy, education, and advocacy.
