The UN is about people, yet the universality of human rights that the UN proclaims does not extend to Taiwan and its 23 million people. Taiwan is also home to a vibrant civil society whose civic organizations constantly reach out to the world. Taiwan is currently working on its first Voluntary National Review, which will document many of its concrete achievements regarding the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Taiwan can do much to help the world build a more sustainable future. The people of Taiwan need the international community to support our aspirations and our right to fair treatment by the UN.
