Human Trafficking Prevention Act in Taiwan was adopted upon a third reading in January, 2009, and thereafter announced by the president in the same Month. The legislation came into effect in June of the same year. Therefore, since 2010, the ''Trafficking in Persons Report'' published by the U.S. Department of State every June, (or the ''TIP report'' as we commonly know it) has listed Taiwan in the first tier. The first tier does not indicate that there is no problem of human trafficking crime in our country, but represents the efforts of the relevant authorities in Taiwan in detection and prevention of such activities.However, it has been ten years since the implementation of this law, and most Taiwanese people are still unfamiliar with the concept of ''trafficking in human beings''. It seems that the prosecutor has brought a lawsuit against the criminal suspect with the '' Human Trafficking Prevention Act '', and the judge's conviction rate is relatively low. The Taiwanese people's understanding of the crime of trafficking in human beings is a relatively ''new topic'' proposed and regulated by the United Nations human trafficking protocol. For this reason, it is quite impossible for the people to clearly define the facts of crime in the face of domestic cases. Therefore, this paper looks into the 17th century for reference, and discusses related issues from the perspectives of Western and traditional Chinese legal history. This paper discusses the possible patterns and the development in Taiwan in the past three hundred years, and tries to explore how the traditional laws and regulations related to human trafficking have influenced people's living conditions in Taiwan since the Qing Dynasty. Research materials include literature, such as memorials and regulations of Qing Dynasty officials, relevant reports of Japan's ruling Taiwan period and relevant laws and regulations of modern Taiwan to measure its cognition and culture.The process of legislating this law has become a part of the history of the legal system. This article also reviews events contemporary to the legislation, domestically and internationally, to shed light on the necessity of the law, as well as differences among the legislature. And through the first instance judgment of the district court to understand the actual use of this law after the implementation of the law, try to understand the law enforcement of ''human trafficking'' related issues of the cognition and attitude.This article is a review of relevant phenomena throughout the past three hundred years--including the population changes in trafficking issues related crime patterns, and differences provide for the implementation of the relevant legal norms in Taiwan. As a result, researchers may further understand daily lives and values prevalent in Taiwan for future initiatives for future reference and basic education purposes. |
