< The U.S. House of Representative pass CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 390 >
Whereas Taiwan has dramatically improved its record on human
rights and routinely holds free and fair elections in a multiparty
system, as evidenced most recently by Taiwan's second democratic
presidential election, in which Mr. Chen Shui-bian
was elected as president;
Whereas the 23,000,000 people on Taiwan are not represented in
the United Nations and many other international organizations,
and their human rights as citizens of the world are therefore
severely abridged;
Whereas Taiwan has in recent years repeatedly expressed its strong
desire to participate in the United Nations and other international
organizations;
Whereas Taiwan has much to contribute to the work and funding
of the United Nations and other international organizations;
Whereas the world community has reacted positively to Taiwan's
desire for international participation, as shown by Taiwan's membership
in the Asian Development Bank and Taiwan's admission to the Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation group as a full member and to the World Trade
Organization as an observer;
Whereas the United States has supported Taiwan's participation
in these bodies and, in the Taiwan Policy Review of September
1994, declared an intention of a stronger and more active policy
of support for Taiwan's participation in appropriate international
organizations;
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) Taiwan and its 23,000,000 people deserve appropriate meaningful
participation in the United Nations and other international organizations
such as the World Health Organization; and
(2) the United States should fulfill the commitment it made in
the 1994 Taiwan Policy Review to more actively support Taiwan's
participation in appropriate international organizations.
Passed the House of Representatives October 3, 2000.
