About the Forum

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has been devoted to protecting human rights in Taiwan and networking with international organizations. In the wave of globalization, NHRC continues to explore the universal values and norms of human rights, review human rights policies in Taiwan and make recommendations, and cooperate with domestic government agencies and civil groups, as well as international organizations, NGOs, and national human rights institutions to promote and protect human rights.
The forum invites human rights scholars and practitioners at home and abroad, to explore and discuss human rights-related issues. Aiming to facilitate the exchange of ideas and share key human rights achievements in Taiwan, the forum seeks to build a platform for human rights development and connect with the international community.
