:「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.”)

National Geographic, 11-25-2020 :
Wildlife crimes and human
rights abuses plague Taiwanese fishing vessels
...illegal
dolphin catching, shark finning, and physical and verbal abuse ...
The
assaults, Indonesian worker Supri says, included his being locked in a
freezer when he was still wet from having taken a shower, and being beaten,
sprayed in the face with a hose, and shocked with an electric stun gun.
In a recent report, the
EJF said that abuse of crew members—along with illegal fishing for sharks and
dolphins, among other species—is common in Taiwan’s distant-water fishing fleet,
one of the world’s largest with more than a thousand vessels. China and Taiwan
represent nearly 60 percent of the world’s distant-water fishing vessels.
野生動物犯罪和侵犯虐待人權折磨著台灣漁船工人...船員描述了非法捕撈海豚，鯊魚鰭以及身體和語言虐待的情況;
包括將他在洗澡後還很濕的時候鎖在冰箱裡，並遭到毆打、用水管對著臉面噴水，然後用電擊槍攻擊。EJF在最近的一份報告中說，在台灣的遠洋捕魚船隊中，普遍存在虐待船員的行為，包括非法捕撈鯊魚和海豚等，台灣是世界上最大的一群漁船，擁有一千多艘船隻。中國和台灣佔全球遠洋捕魚船隻近60％。(brief)https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2020/11/taiwan-fishing-vessels-perpetuate-illegal-fishing-human-rights-abuses/

USA
Country Reports on Human Rights
practices(美國人權報告), 3-11-2020:
法官與檢察官的公正遭到學者與政治評論的公開質疑 (Some
political commentators and academics, publicly questioned the impartiality
of judges and prosecutors involved in high profile, politically sensitive cases.
Judicial reform advocates pressed for greater public accountability, reforms of
the personnel system, and other procedural improvements)
;
台灣勞動法無保護家庭幫傭，因此特別容易受到剝削，其中外籍勞工深受壓迫成為受害者，家庭看護工亦常受到僱主濫用或虐待，他們都負擔高額仲介費，即使面臨不平等對待，也會選擇隱忍，繼續工作。從事漁業、農業、製造業及建築業的外傭工作環境不佳，勞動條件差。台灣政府修正法規，鼓勵移工檢舉雇主，仍無法阻止勞動權受害的現況，勞動檢查也無法阻絕違法行為。(Labor
laws do not cover domestic household workers, leaving them vulnerable to
exploitation. Foreign workers were most susceptible to forced labor,
especially when serving as crew members on Taiwan-flagged fishing vessels. Some
labor brokers charged foreign workers exorbitant recruitment fees and used debts
incurred from these fees in the source country as tools of coercion to subject
the workers to debt bondage. The Ministry of Labor may also permit foreign
workers to transfer to new employers in cases of exploitation or abuse.
foreign workers often were reluctant to report employer abuses for fear the
employer would terminate the contract and deport them, leaving them unable to
reimburse debt accrued during the recruitment process. The approximately
703,000 foreign workers, primarily from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand,
and Vietnam, were vulnerable to exploitation. Foreign workers generally incurred
significant debt burdens during the recruitment process due to excessive
brokerage fees, guarantee deposits, and higher charges for flights and
accommodations. Brokerage agencies. Abuse was common in domestic
service; there were several reports of employers raping foreign domestic
helpers. Mistreatment and poor working conditions for foreign fishermen
remained common. Foreign fishermen recruited offshore were not entitled to the
same labor rights, wages.) 台灣立委
38 %是女性，
與前年相同性侵數字應7~10倍於通報數， 因為社會文化因素(社會壓力使家族蒙羞)使許多婦女隱忍不報。
言論自由方面，台灣媒體的母公司因為在中國大陸的商業利益和生意，報導內容遭到中國當局的審查，倘若內容不符合「政治胃口」的話，重則對刊登這類文章的媒體抽廣告。台灣政府未限制媒體報導的自由，但國安局官員公開指有媒體受北京指示報導方向。中國大陸政協主席汪洋表示，台灣媒體需要傳播九二共識、兩岸和平統一等意識型態，否則會有機會觸發戰爭。此外，英國金融時報（Financial
Times）因揭發中國國台辦指示旺旺旗下媒體的報導內容，以及中央社翻譯報導內容，於去年遭旺中集團提告。(
Concerns about censorship were limited to efforts by the authorities in the
People’s Republic of China (PRC) to censor Taiwan media outlets based on the
business interests of their parent companies in the PRC.
In May senior PRC officials used the fourth Beijing-Taiwan Media Forum to
call on Taiwan media outlets to shape their coverage to promote PRC
political priorities.
PRC authorities reinforced corporate pressure on media by using access
denial to punish Taiwan media outlets whose coverage they deemed to be
insufficiently consistent with PRC policies.
Journalists said they faced pressure from management to submit news stories
to complement or support the content of paid advertisements. Critics said
product placement under the guise of news reporting undercut objective
journalism, restricted journalists’ freedom, and undermined public trust in
the media.)
台灣這一年不斷有官員貪污的報告 (There
were reports of official corruption
during the year. nine ranking
officials, 72 mid-level, 115 low-level,
and 11 elected people’s deputies had
been indicted for corruption.)。至於台灣的勞工權益方面，台灣罷工權受到嚴重限制，勞動糾紛須先由主管機關作協調，期間不能作出任何行動。同時，教師、公務員及國防等特定行業不能罷工，公有事業、醫院與電信業者須在維持基本服務的前提下才能罷工。(The right to
strike remained highly regulated. Teachers, civil servants, and defense
industry employees do not have the right to strike. Workers in industries
such as utilities, hospital services, and telecommunication service
providers are allowed to strike only if they maintain basic services during
the strike. Authorities may prohibit, limit, or break up a strike during a
disaster. For all workers, the law divides labor disputes into “rights
disputes” and “adjustment disputes.” Workers are allowed to strike only in
adjustment disputes, which include issues such as compensation and working
schedules. The law forbids strikes in rights disputes related to violations
of collective agreements and employment contracts.) 歧視方面:
Activists for LGBTI rights said due to victims’ reluctance to lodge formal
complaints, discrimination against LGBTI persons was more widespread than
suggested by the number of court cases.There
was reported discrimination, including employment discrimination, against
persons with HIV/AIDS.

2019年3月13日的美國人權報告(USA Country
Reports on Human Rights practices)
在貪污與政府透明度方面指出，司法不獨立且執行政治目的調查工作("
justice ministry was insufficiently independent and conducted politically
motivated investigations of politicians.
"),
言論及新聞自由方面，媒體所有權集中對新聞自由的影響，特別是有中資投資的企業；報告另提及台灣新聞置入性行銷情況嚴重，削弱公眾對媒體的信賴。此外,
罷工權嚴格受限，勞資糾紛仲裁曠日費時，工會密度明顯偏低。台灣的家庭照護常遭剝削，外勞易遭強迫勞動。台灣工會密度低於7.6%，遠低於經濟合作暨發展組織（OECD）的17%平均值，由於台灣對於組建工會所需的最低勞工人數有所限制，78.2%中小企業員工無法成立工會，大型企業則透過調動或將工會成員列入晉升黑名單等方式使得工會更難運作。勞動力方面，報告指出，婦女懷孕是台灣常見的勞動歧視現象，性騷擾與不公平待遇等案件也時有所聞，社會文化因素(社會壓力使家族蒙羞)使許多婦女隱忍不報，性侵數字應7~10倍於通報數
；性侵也見於殘障人士、性剝削見於兒童，外籍家庭主婦與陸配、 LGBTI 、HIV/AIDS
仍舊遭到歧視；而台灣的家庭照護常遭剝削，外勞是最容易遭受強迫勞動的族群，漁業、農業、製造業與建築業都是常見強制勞動的行業。
★
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。
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。

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。

要繼續改善台灣排名, 政府必須進行長期的教育計畫以提昇公民對於清廉政治(clean politics and governance)的價值觀念，
此外，政府與立法院( legislature) 必須對處理相關政府官員( government

criticized the government, saying it used a lack of public consensus
as an excuse to uphold capital punishment.
The executions last
year were carried out one day after a hearing on the issue, and the
executions in March came less than one month after Ma offered an
apology to the family of Chiang Kuo-ching (江國慶), who was found to
have been wrongfully executed

that the glitter of the island republic’s free press has been
overrated, especially in a highly commercialized news culture
that is both deeply partisan and prey to political favors.
▼The placement of advertising as news is only the “tip of the
iceberg,”......

media's
minimization of criticism of government policies and
exaggeration of its achievements, says Guang, who teaches
