Region: GLOBAL
Result:
This petition is now closed.
Background (Preamble):
The Republic of China (Taiwan) is a free and peace-loving state, and its democratically elected government is the only one that represents the interests and wishes of the people of Taiwan. Taiwan is the only nation not represented in the global assembly.
The United Nations' exclusion of Taiwan violates the principles and spirit of the UN Charter, in particular the fundamental principle of universality, and of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Taiwan and its 23 million people are capable of making significant contributions to many UN efforts around the globe. Taiwan is also eager to do its part to combat such international problems as regional conflict, terrorism, drug trafficking, organized crime, and environmental degradation. However, without UN membership, Taiwan is denied an important means of collaborating with international partners. This unnecessarily complicates the task at hand and hampers efforts to deal with such critical issues.
Besides, the passage of so-called "anti-secession law" on March 14th 2005 by the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China, has been widely viewed as the legal excuse for the use of force against Taiwan, and endangers peace and stability in the East Asia region. To safeguard peace, the United Nations has to facilitate the necessary dialogue between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China.

Petition:
Taiwan is a democratic nation that respects human rights, freedom, and peace. Taiwan meets all the requirements of UN membership. It makes little sense that Taiwan is ignored when considering the fact that Taiwan serves as a model for freedom and democracy in the Asia-Pacific and a beacon of hope for those living under communist rule, especially in light of U.S. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's recent remarks regarding China's military rise and threat it poses to the peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific region.
Taiwan stands ready to take its rightful place among the member states of the United Nations. Including Taiwan in the United Nations would make the world body more representative, comprehensive and effective. Please support Taiwan and help it gain representation in the United Nations.
