I'd like all young Taiwanese to watch this. That's where, among others, Taiwan democracy began. Under the authoritarian regime, ballot rigging had been a common practice. Ppl, with a limited right to vote in some local elections, started to question the ballot counting. (1/3)

媒體或許對烏克蘭的政治動員(尤其藉由傳媒)更有興趣,但烏克蘭的法律動員也是一絕。除了找出種族屠殺公約解釋問題把俄羅斯送上國際法院,藉立陶宛啟動國際刑事法院的調查,昨天在聯大更是把歷史程序攤開,直搗俄羅斯繼承蘇聯席位的合法性。 樣樣訴諸國際法的策略,讓各地國際法學者引擎全開!

Now, ppl ask why Taiwan, with its advanced technology, resists so hard adopting an electronic way of voting & ballot counting. Beyond the very particular national security concerns, there's also this historical background that could hardly be underestimated. (3/3)

That's a long story. But this very unmodern ballot counting process, which looks even a bit clumsy, has become a fundamental element in a democracy that we trust in Taiwan. Open & transparent, with supervising eyes on every single ballot. (2/3)

這篇用漢字,因為想把這份心情傳遞給心愛的台灣。引文裡說的,也是我對烏克蘭法律動員策略的心得:國際法分崩離析的當下,正是國際法反撲的時刻。即使上國際法院得不到想要的答案,即使國際刑事法院也拿不下罪犯,即使歐洲人權法院的暫定措施無效,也不能放棄製造議論的空間,讓問題浮出檯面。

Law must fight back even in face of no prospects for victory. Options must be explored to show that attempts were made, and once the smoke clears hopefully there will be momentum to revamp the post-WW2 setup of international law that is falling apart before our eyes. (10/12)

🧵【國會聽取總統國情報告】增修條文4條3確實規定「立法院於每年集會時,得聽取總統國情報告。」但聽完以後就地詢答,不僅超越憲法也超越權力分立。K黨16人提案說明也承認,「惟在我國憲政制度下,總統並不直接對立法院負責」,故擬以總統同意為依據,接受即時詢答。(1/6)

許多國際法學者這幾天都轉貼了Alain Pellet教授的公開辭職信。Pellet打了數十次國際法院訴訟。戰事爆發後,他發表公開信辭去了三宗烏俄繫屬中案件的律師或顧問職。其中沈痛地表示:「律師可以為或多或少有待商榷的爭點辯護,但無法在一個注定要適用法律的處境中,出面為犬儒鄙視法律的國家辯護。」

明知在臻至憲綱地位的基本原則(釋字499參照)紅線上仍堅持通過,對外說明卻避而不談這個顧慮。最終政院覆議不成,自然就要聲請法規範憲法審查。憲法法庭宣告違反權力分立原則的機率很高,屆時是不是連憲法法庭都要鬥?民主倒退殷鑑不遠,「依法」進行政治鬥爭,司法恐難倖免。(6/6)

Same. Few countries in the world can survive a 7.2 magnitude quake like #Taiwan does. Today we're apparently a country different from the one devastated by the 1999 quake. It's the resilient society that we keep building up here that makes TSMC possible, not the way around.

台灣對人權保障經常治標不治本的問題,其實應該只是大結構的冰山一角。一個預算很緊的委託研究,往往要求八個月就提供藥方,沒有時間和資源去充分盤點利害關係人處境,所謂跨域整合也只能停留在共同主持和專家焦點會談。如果真的預算有限,那就分年一階一階去推進,五年十年的計畫有其必要。

這裡的權力分立原則很簡單,增修條文體制下,總統由人民直選,對人民負責;對立法院負責的是行政院,所以政院接受立委質詢剛好而已。即使是權力制衡體制,對立院負責的仍然不是總統。總統有國安大政方針權,於其職權範圍內為最高行政首長(釋字627參照),但終究不是對立院負責的政院。(2/6)

同一份關係文書中,D黨17人提案提到,總統制的美國、半總統偏總統制的法國,總統報告後離席,不會進行即時詢答。法國總統到國會進行國情報告,確立於2008年憲改。這是自認實質執政者的時任總統想要的,為使國會清楚了解其施政方針。但修憲委員會百般為難,認未符權力分立原則。(3/6)

最後妥協版本,總統報告完離席後,國會再進行辯論。曾有法國學者私下戲稱,這是總統彰顯權力的玩具。讓總統威風一下,開心就好,但不超越權力分立的紅線。總統終究只對人民負政治責任。而政治責任的追究,台灣至少還有個形式上的正副總統罷免,即使門檻高不可攀,而法國第五共和並沒有罷免制度。(4/6)

波蘭學者建議台灣,俄羅斯退出歐洲理事會(歐洲人權法院所在組織)之後留下的預算缺口,除了歐洲國家填補,海外人權盟友也能參與,例如台灣這樣民主法治持續前進的範例。 對照:美洲人權法院也有歐盟或歐洲各國捐款支持,彰顯外交政策內含的價值。 (其實我幾年前有提過….)

@ProfPech Smart thinking! I'm also seeing a nice opening for 🇹🇼 Taiwan to demonstrate their recent focus on Europe and making friends with countries that oppose aggressive totalitarian dictatorships next door...

@shu_wang_gong Exactly! Can't recall if it was kind of "based on mutual agreement" or "according to termination clause" excuses back in 2021. Oh wait, maybe I should file a request for information from MoFA.

May be too old to be in tears after reading this ‘love letter to #Taiwan ’ (quote @shu_wang_gong ) Yet glad our efforts to become SORT OF ‘the Asian Netherlands’ are seen. Too early to be proud of our openness & transparency, but hope that we’re moving on the good track.

早年城鄉差異真的不小,補習班精心雕琢的申請文件一眼就能辨識,個人特色不顯著,看不到什麼學習性向的差異。但如今城鄉差距不重要了,終於可以看到學生自己苦惱探索或跌跌撞撞的過程,非都會區少年也有令人興味盎然的成就或心得。好奇其他大學端老師們作何想法?

I always keep my distance from politicians, as a legal scholar & independent member of the human rights committee under the government. Exceptionally, to our outgoing PM, I’d like to say thank you for your great efforts during these tough years under the pandemic. #Taiwan

能多出這四年能為國家做事,是我畢生最大的榮幸,也是時代的惠賜。 中央政府總預算案已經審議完成,我再次向蔡英文總統請辭行政院長,請總統儘速指派新的閣揆,我將率全體閣員總辭,讓執政團隊布展新局。 也祝福新的行政團隊在我們四年的基礎上能夠做得更好。

補一句。高中生能跳出本位,認真描述、檢視自己先前做的小小試驗,還能補充後來學到的方法可能如何改善當時的結果。像我這種當年只會應付考試的大學老師,聽著聽著真的會放棄計較,面前這位同學可能語文弱了點或是數學差了些。那背後的無限可能的成長空間,應該是值得大學珍視的。

Kept hearing the calls at night from the tops of the trees, wondering what kind of bird it was. Finally seen it jumping from one tree to another tonight. Checked the archive photo & sound. Yes! A Formosan Giant Flying Squirrel as my new neighbour! ❤️🐿️

Still looking for quality ingredients for your seasonal #MulledWine in #Taipei ? Dihua Street (迪化街) has them all. Go north bound, ask those herb shops (參藥行) that look old & modest. They are the real professionals.

Why should we, 23million #Taiwanese people, sacrifice our established democracy, freedoms and rule of law for a billionaire’s profits? He can set up his own special administration zone on another planet, and don’t forget to bring up those autocrats! #SelfDetermination #JusCogens

A visiting scholar from Ottawa told me that it’s a beautiful campus embraced by rivers, mountains, biking trails and a baseball park. Sometimes we do need outsiders to get our eyes wide open, though I’m still thinking of demolishing some of those hideous buildings.

Savungaz successfully drew my attention last year. So courageous & clever to change her name into a campaign banner: "Lee I wanna show only my native name and my Bunun name is Savungaz Valincinan". There's a proposed amendment pending in the parliament. 👇

Everybody’s fine, just my dad a bit tired due to his aging body. By listening to conversations between hypochondriacs & doctors, you’ll understand why we have to stay here in a hospital hallway. Chapeau to our medical professionals.
