The commission was established following passage of the Organic Act of the Control Yuan National Human Rights Commission (監察院國家人權委員會組織法) on Dec. 10 last year. The Control Yuan in September tendered the bill for review by the legislature’s Judiciary and Organic Laws and Statutes Committee. The entrance to the Control Yuan’s National Human Rights Commission is pictured in Taipei in an undated photograph. Commission members late last month met with Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) caucus members to explain the bill. DPP caucus whip Ker Chien-ming (柯建銘) told the meeting that he believes clauses of the bill risk breaching human rights and being unconstitutional, sources said.
