近年2013,2014
直到2018年4月20日的美國人權報告
(USA Country
Reports on Human Rights practices)都指出台灣主要人權問題是外籍勞工被剝削
、貪污、家庭暴力等。
Joseph Nye博士 (
哈佛大學前院長 , 前助理國防部長 &
a deputy assistant 國務卿
) 於Dec. 8, 2010訪台時明述
:「只要台灣堅持民主人權，美國就不會出賣台灣」。(“The answer is as long as Taiwan stands for democracy and human rights,
that will be impossible ( the Americans make a deal and sell out Taiwan for
something that they want from China) in American political culture.”)
Yahoo
! 520大調查 ( May 14, 2017, 12:10pm 寰宇 TV news )顯示, 38.6% 認為人權狀況變差 , 38.2%
認為人權與前相同. 2015年，台北市長柯文哲於<Foreign
Policy>批評台灣並不民主，因為政治不屬於老百姓所有、而是屬於財團的，且為政客所控制(
Does Taiwan have democracy? Real democracy means
politics belongs to the people. Taiwanese politics belongs to corporations and
is controlled by political parties.)。2016年，官員貪污是主要人權問題，政治審判(政治影響司法)仍舊存在。
2013年,
國際人權專家組成的the review panel (10
int'l experts in Human Rights, e.g., Philip Alston, law professor at New
York University; Eibe Riedel, former member of the United Nations Committee on
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; Jerome Cohen, law professor at New York
University, etc)呼籲人權政策應更透明化...
根據2013台灣民主基金會民調，民衆對政府保障人權整體評價打了2.7分(0分~滿分5分)，為不及格分數、且比去年還差；民調根據2012民調"台灣人權指標調查"，Taiwan's human rights
get thumbs-down in
poll! (台灣人將大拇指朝下)，約43.4%台灣人認為台灣人權「壞」或「非常壞」；僅有三十八％民眾對台灣人權持正面評價，遠低於去年的五十七％；台灣言論自由退步，學者憂「民主失靈」... 台灣民主基金會公布「2012台灣民主自由人權指標調查」，
台媒體獨立自主連3年下滑...
根據2010民調，台灣一般民眾對台灣整體人權表現、民主自由人權各項表現，普遍評為不及格。 根據2011民調，<自由時報>(Dec.
9, 2011)以大標題「台人權表現，
學者批全面倒退」、(Dec.
3, 2011)以大標題「經濟、司法、勞權退步最多」報導二則台灣人權民調。 ◎

● 台灣工會的密度僅5.8%，遠低於經濟合作暨發展組織（OECD）的16%平均值...
強制勞動因為法院多半判決輕罪或罰款，對慣老闆們根本沒嚇阻作用。報告指出，這類強制勞動常發生在家政服務、農漁業、製造業與建築業等行業，外勞最容易遭到剝削。Labor laws do
not cover
domestic
workers, leaving
them vulnerable
to labor
exploitation.
Forced labor
occurred in such
sectors as
domestic

construction.
Foreign workers
were most
susceptible to
forced labor,
especially when
serving as crew

foreign workers

these fees in

bondage...
Violations of
legal working
hours were
common in all
sectors.在工資與工時方面，報告指出除當局未能經常有效執行最低工資法之外，各行各業違反法定工時的情況「十分常見」。報告並引述勞動部2016年勞動檢查結果為例，高達18.8%企業都有違法情形。報告稱，非政府組織和學者認為，勞動檢查員人數和勞動檢查比率依然太低，不足以有效嚇阻慣老闆。

針對台灣槍決6名死囚，「國際特赦組織」發表聲明抨擊說，死刑並無法帶來正義，這是一項人權倒退的決定，透露政府「政治算計」，旨在平息眾怒，贏回民心，這項決定展現了政府「政治領導的失敗（a
failure of political
leadership）」。聲明表示，執行死刑無疑地不符合（台灣）政府長久以來宣示要廢除死刑的目標，呼籲政府必須停止以死刑做為「政治工具」欲藉此平息眾怒贏回民心；歐盟也發表聲明，表達反對立場，呼籲台灣立即暫緩執行死刑。

★ 對女性的強暴和家庭暴力在台灣仍是嚴重的問題。由於性犯罪的受害者由於社會禁忌，怕社會歧視，
許多人隱忍不報。台灣性侵案件的實際數字是舉報件數的10倍。據統計，過去五年強暴案的起訴率約五十％
。工作場所的性騷擾仍舊是個問題, 司法當局仍舊 dismissive of sexual harassment complaints,”.兒童受虐仍是廣泛的問題。報告也提到外籍配偶。
「不論在家中或外出，都是遭歧視的對象」。
★貪腐 :
“Although the authorities made efforts to eliminate
corruption and diminish political influence in the
judiciary, some residual problems remained,”...“During the
year, judicial reform advocates pressed for greater
public accountability, reforms of the personnel
system and other procedural reforms,”.
★歧視 : The report also said there seemed to be
discrimination, including in work environments,
against people with HIV/AIDS.
★政治敏感案件: The report said that political commentators and academics
had publicly questioned the impartiality of judges and
prosecutors involved in high-profile and politically
sensitive cases.
評論與學界質疑台灣的檢察官與法官......前總統陳水扁在獄中的狀況:外籍醫師等人探視後認為他健康惡化，應保外就醫；也有愈來愈多的觀察者宣稱他在獄中遭虐待；... 政府認為他已獲得適當醫療，不符保外就醫規定。
報告提到 2009 trial of Chen
and his wife, Wu Shu-jen (吳淑珍), had heightened public
scrutiny of pre-indictment and pretrial detention,
prosecutorial leaks, other possible prosecutorial misconduct
and transparency in judicial procedures.
The nation’s independent press, an effective judiciary
and a functioning democratic political system combined to
protect freedom of speech and the press, the report said.

have been wrongfully executed
