[Reporter Wu Shuwei/Taipei Report] Superintendent Chen Jujin led all supervisory committees to inspect the Executive Yuan.

Chen Ju said that under the current constitutional system, the supervisory power is an external control mechanism for the government's governance; the supervisory committee investigates the work and governance of the administrative agencies involved in violations, or investigates the violations and dereliction of duty of central and local public officials.

The investigation reports submitted by the Control Yuan are also often used as an important reference for the outside world to review the governance of the administrative agencies.

Chen Ju pointed out that among the nine core human rights conventions of the United Nations, not only the two conventions contain many provisions on the protection of labor rights, but also specifically require that migrant workers should be treated equally in the workplace; relevant conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO) also prohibit The principle of discrimination and the principle of national treatment.

Therefore, Chen Ju said that whether the human rights of migrant workers are taken seriously has become an important indicator to test the level of human rights in a country. At present, there are more than 710,000 foreign migrant workers working in Taiwan, which has attracted international attention. Therefore, the National Human Rights Committee of the Supervisory Yuan was established. Since then, it has actively started relevant systematic investigations, research and discussions, and listed them as priority issues for 2022.

Chen Ju said that from the perspective of global economic and trade trends emphasizing sustainable development and corporate responsibility, the improvement of national human rights will effectively enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. Therefore, the Supervisory Yuan and the National Human Rights Commission hope to work together with the Executive Yuan.

The Supervisory Yuan pointed out that Su Zhenchang, the Premier of the Executive Council, gave a briefing on the key tasks of the Executive Yuan this year, and then President Chen made a comprehensive explanation of the results of the exercise of the Supervisory Yuan’s powers such as investigation, impeachment, correction, correction, and auditing this year. The convener or members nominated by the committees of the Control Yuan will speak on the committee’s special review topics, and ask President Su and the heads of relevant departments to reply immediately.
