Announced on May 5, 2022, Taiwan’s first-ever National Human Rights Action Plan (NAP), which ran from 2022 to 2024, prioritized eight human rights issues and delineated 154 action plans, 267 key performance indices (KPIs), and the corresponding completion timelines. After three NAP progress review meetings during the execution period, the Executive Yuan published the final report in March 2025.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) attended all three progress review meetings to provide its expert opinions and published oversight details on its website after each meeting. Following the publication of the final report by the Executive Yuan, the NHRC conducted a thorough review of the report based on international human rights standards, NHRC special reports, previous meeting minutes, legal opinions and statements, and the independent opinions and concluding observations of national reports on various human rights conventions. In the end, the NHRC proposed 24 recommendations across the eight human rights issues outlined in the NAP final report as a reference for the government in formulating future policies for human rights protection.
