I’ve had the pleasure of working with Professor William Alford of Harvard and Justice Chang-fa Lo of Taiwan’s Constitutional Court to edit this new book: “Taiwan and International Human Rights: A Story of Transformation”, which is published by Springer (Amazon link here).
The announcement of publication came today with the great news that Taiwan has just passed same-sex marriage legislation as the first country to do so in Asia! From a depressing island run by a dictatorship that operated the world’s longest martial law regime to today’s vibrant constitutional democracy that actively engages universal human rights values, Taiwan is a testament to the resilience, endeavor and accomplishment of the Taiwanese people.
