2024大選：肯定台灣民主和平公民參與，選後須持續推動人權法案與監督人權落實

2024年1月13日晚間，台灣總統及立法委員選舉結果公布，國際特赦組織恭喜台灣再度以民主和平方式完成選舉，並恭喜賴清德、蕭美琴當選成為下一屆總統、副總統。

國際特赦組織台灣分會秘書長邱伊翎表示：「即使是在中國不斷的騷擾及威脅之下，台灣以和平的方式完成大選，再次展現台灣的民主素養。相較於2020年大選，本次總統與區域立法委員的投票率不少縣市都突破七成，也展現台灣民眾對於公共政策的關心及參與程度。」

「我們觀察到中國政府在競選期間與選舉前夕持續以軍機、軍艦、空飄氣球與發射衛星等行動，騷擾台灣周遭區域與上空、製造台海的情勢緊張。我們也呼籲中國尊重台灣總統與立法委員選舉的結果，並停止對台灣的不當軍事行動、騷擾與恐嚇。」

「在國際特赦組織台灣分會對於三大政黨總統候選人發放的選前問卷中，我們特別針對集會遊行法、難民庇護制度、移工權利、數位平台責任以及氣候正義等五大議題提問，三組候選人也都予以正面回應，我們也期待未來不論是執政黨或在野黨，都能持續推動人權法案及監督人權落實情況，也期待新政府能在國際及區域層次，繼續扮演人權推動的助力。」

「針對新國會的組成，各黨皆未過半，也代表著多黨合作的必要，我們也期待各黨能更加聽見公民社會的訴求及聲音。我們樂見越來越多年輕世代以及更多對t於人權議題較為友善的候選人，透過投入選舉倡導人權。我們也呼籲新一屆的國會能完善台灣的法規對人權的保障，以符合國際人權標準。

2024 Taiwan Elections: Acknowledging Taiwan's democratic and peaceful civic participation, and the need to continue to promote human rights legislation and monitor the implementation of human rights after the election

On the evening of 13 January 2024, the results of Taiwan's presidential and legislative elections were announced. Amnesty International congratulates Taiwan for, once again, holding a democratic and peaceful elections and congratulates Lai Ching-te and Hsiao Bi-khim being elected the next President and Vice President.

E-ling Chiu, National Director of Amnesty International Taiwan, said: "Despite under China’s continuous harassments and threats, Taiwan's general elections were held in a peaceful manner, once again, demonstrating Taiwan’s democracy. Compared to the 2020 elections, the turnouts for president and regional legislators surpassed 70%, demonstrating the level of concern and participation of the Taiwanese people in public policy."

"We have observed that the Chinese government continued to disturb Taiwan’s airspace and create tension in the Taiwan Strait during the campaign period and prior to the elections by sending military jets, sailing navy vessels and flying balloons, as well as, launching a satellite through the airspace of Taiwan. We call on China to respect the results of Taiwan's presidential and legislative elections and to cease its inappropriate military actions, harassment and intimidation against Taiwan."

"In the pre-election questionnaire we sent to the presidential candidates of the three main political parties, all responded positively for human rights in the areas of freedom of assembly and protest, refugee and asylum scheme, migrant workers' rights, digital responsibilities of online platforms, and climate justice. We expect that both the ruling party and the opposition party will continue to promote human rights legislation and monitor the implementation of human rights after the elections. We also urge the new government to continue to play the role of promoting human rights at both regional and international level."

"On the composition of the new Parliament, no party will hold the majority which means that it is necessary for the political parties to work hand in hand. We look forward that all parties will respond to the demands and calls from civil society. We are glad to see an increased number of young people and more pro-rights candidates advocating for human rights through participating in the legislative election. We urge the newly elected members of the Legislative Yuan to refine Taiwan's laws and regulations on the protection of human rights to meet the international human rights standards."
