Taiwan Constitutional Court’s Judgment Xian-Pan 4 of 2022 and Taiwan Constitutional Court’s Judgment Xian-Pan 17 of 2022 have declared certain provisions of the existing Indigenous Peoples Identity Act unconstitutional, rendering the said law subject to periodic expiration. However, amending the law involves issues of resource allocation for individual and ethnic groups of indigenous peoples, thereby affecting the implementation of preferential treatment in education, admission to higher education, elections, and other areas. Therefore, the focus of this study is on the emerging fundamental right derived from personal rights, namely the " Indigenous Identity Rights." This paper aims to explore the definition and purpose of the " Indigenous Identity Rights," review the history of our country, and attempt to identify the reasons for the discrepancy between "self-identified indigenous identity" and "governmentrecognized indigenous identity." Furthermore, it seeks to examine the potential issues related to the " Indigenous Identity Rights " in the current state of our country and after the legal amendments. Drawing inspiration from the policies and practical developments of Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and Canada regarding the recognition and identification of indigenous peoples, this paper endeavors to propose legislative recommendations for our country in response to Taiwan Constitutional Court’s Judgment Xian-Pan 4 of 2022 and Taiwan Constitutional Court’s Judgment Xian-Pan 17 of 2022. |
