On the Creation of World Court of Human Rights

世界人權法院的建立

臺大法律學院非常榮幸邀請到奧地利維也納大學法學院Manfred Nowak教授，同時也是前聯合國反酷刑調查官，帶來關於為何應建立世界人權法院的演講。Manfred Nowak教授從歷史的角度出發，解釋建立世界人權法院的理論基礎，並且提出八個需要建立世界人權法院的理由。同時，在回應黃默教授及其他與會學者的提問時，Manfred Nowak教授也討論了世界人權法院的管轄權問題，並對臺灣在世界人權法院可以扮演的角色提出建議。

Human rights have always been an important issue worldwide. It is an honor for National Taiwan University College of Law to have Professor Nowak, a former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, to provide an overview on the creation of the World Court of Human Rights. Based on the historical context, Professor Nowak discusses the rationale behind the creation of the World Court of Human Rights and provides eight reasons for the need in its creation. In response to the issues raised by Professor Mab Huang and other participants, Professor Nowak further explains the jurisdiction of this court and suggests ways in which Taiwan may participate in this regime if created in the future.
