舊金山對日和約、聯大第2758號決議與台灣國際法律地位

Taiwan's Legal Status with San Francisco Treaty of Peace and the GA Resolution 2758

依《舊金山和約》，日本宣佈「放棄對台灣與澎湖之所有權利、主權與主張」，但是並未進一步聲明台灣與澎湖主權歸屬或移轉之對象，造成台灣的國際法律地位一度未定。1971年聯合國通過第2758號決議，僅是解決中國代表權的爭議，既沒有解決台灣的主權問題。但隨著時間的經過，台灣的國際定位今日已定。台灣由被軍事佔領地進化為一個主權獨立、自由民主的國家，與中華人民共和國互不隸屬，互不管轄，但還不是一個正常化的國家。

According to Peace Treaty of San Francisco, the Japanese government declared to ＂renounce all right, title and claim to Formosa and the Pescadores＂. However, it left so many ambiguities regarding Taiwan's legal status since the Treaty did not define which party owns the legal title of Taiwan. The GA Resolution 2758 in 1971, on the other hand, did not solve the sovereign issue of Taiwan either; instead, it only dealt with the issue concerning the legal representative of China in the UN. Nevertheless, with the time goes by, the legal status of Taiwan has evolved from an occupied territory to a sovereign and democratic state that is distinguishable from China, but yet to be normalized.
