Human right is one important indicator of democracy. The annual reports on human rights, released by the State Department and Freedom House, also show that Taiwanese government makes steady progress in improving people's political right and freedom. In assessing how successful this policy is, two measurements are used: (1) under the premise of promoting human rights, the achievements of diplomatic trips made by the President and the Vice President; (2) the involvement of internal human right affairs. In sum, although this human rights diplomatic policy does help ROC governors make more foreign visits, it has little impact on increasing international allies and expanding diplomatic domains. However, the benefits extend to promoting Taiwan's international image as well as to the effectiveness of the incumbent government. Therefore, it is expected that DPP government will remain to have human rights, democracy, peace, love and high-tech as her governing principles, assisted with the improvement of her economic and national defense power, to find practical and greater room for Taiwan's diplomacy. |
