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.

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.

We, the undersigned, call on the UN to return to the spirit of unity, to stand behind the principle that we are all created equal, and to grant membership to the peace-loving state – Taiwan.
