台灣的憲政困境：監察院轉型為21世紀的監察使制度

Taiwan' s Constitutional Dilemma: Transforming the Control Yuan into a 21st Century Ombuds Institution

經過2016年的總統大選並成立新政府後，台灣的人權保障工作迎來新的局面。新總統宣佈將依據聯合國標準成立國家人權機構，因此引發台灣社會針對監察院應扮演何種角色的討論。本文作者來自於匈牙利，一個後威權時代的中東歐國家，試圖基於自身在匈牙利的經驗，以謙遜的態度為台灣的相關討論提供一些建言。最主要的焦點，在於討論監察院如何採取一個適當的起點，轉型為一個新的監察使機制。

After the 2016 elections and the establishment of the new government, the protection of human rights in Taiwan faced new challenges. The new president declared she would establish a National Human Rights Institution in accord with United Nations' norms, thus provoking much discussion of the role of the Control Yuan. This paper aims at making a humble contribution to the discussion as an outsider from Hungary, a post-authoritarian East Central European country. The primary concern is how to choose a starting point for the transformation of the Control Yuan toward a new ombud's institution.
