■ 呼籲聯合國 #不遺漏任何人，盡速接納台灣參與！

第81屆「聯合國大會」將於今年9月8日開議，總辯論主題為「恢復信任、應對轉型：一個普惠全民的聯合國」。

外交部葛葆萱次長日前召開記者會，向國人說明今年政府推動參與聯合國的訴求及策略，重點包含：

1⃣ #聯大第2758號決議 並未排除台灣有意義參與聯合國體系，聯合國應尋求適當方式接納台灣的參與，以利台灣對加速實現聯合國「永續發展目標」作出具體貢獻。

2⃣ 我國堅持維護台海現狀，並全力守護台海的和平與穩定。維持台海現狀不僅被國際社會高度認同與信賴，獲得民主夥伴的支持，更是台灣民意的共識。台海的和平與穩定，是世界安全與繁榮的必要元素。

3⃣ 台灣向聯合國與國際社會承諾和平解決爭端，並堅定維護國際法秩序。任何破壞台海現狀的企圖與作為，就是破壞「聯合國憲章」中禁止使用武力與要求和平解決爭端的原則。

此外，林佳龍部長也將發表專文「恢復信任：台灣在自由世界應有的正當地位」，親自向全球各界說明我國政府立場，強調聯合國必須遵循其憲章，公平正義對待國際社會所有成員，才能重拾國際社會的信任。

台灣是國際社會重要且負責任的一員，與世界各國共同面對全球挑戰，也是聯合國 #應對轉型 不可或缺的關鍵力量。我國政府再次呼籲聯合國儘速尋求適當方式納入台灣，以落實「不遺漏任何人」的承諾，以及 #普惠全民聯合國 的目標。

■ Taiwan actively promotes UN participation, calls for a UN that delivers for all

The 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly will open on September 8 at the UN headquarters in New York. The theme of this year’s General Debate will be “Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations that Delivers for All.”

MOFA Vice Minister Baushuan Ger held a special press conference on September 1 to communicate to the public the Taiwan government’s 2026 campaign and strategy for promoting Taiwan’s UN participation, highlighting:

1⃣ UNGA Resolution 2758 neither dealt with Taiwan’s sovereignty nor precluded Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the UN system. The UN should identify appropriate ways of including Taiwan’s participation in the UN system so that Taiwan can contribute its expertise and experience to help accelerate the realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

2⃣ Firmly maintaining the status quo and ensuring peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait is the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan and the widely held and staunch position of the international community. It has also received extensive support among Taiwan’s democratic partners. Peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait are indispensable to global security and prosperity.

3⃣ Taiwan is committed to the peaceful settlement of disputes and staunchly defending the international legal order. Any attempts or actions to disrupt the status quo across the Taiwan Strait contravene the principles enshrined in the UN Charter prohibiting the threat or use of force and requiring the peaceful settlement of disputes.

Minister Lin Chia-lung published an op-ed entitled “Restoring trust: Taiwan’s rightful place in the free world” to communicate the Taiwan government’s stance to the world. The op-ed underlines that only by following the principles set out in the UN Charter and treating every member of the international community in a fair and just manner can the UN win back the international community’s confidence.

As an important stakeholder in the international community, Taiwan stands ready to face global challenges alongside global partners, and is an indispensable and vital force in the UN’s efforts to manage transformation. The government of Taiwan once again calls on the UN system to recognize the legitimate right of the 23.5 million people of Taiwan to participate in international affairs and to promptly seek appropriate ways to include Taiwan. Only in this way can the UN truly realize its commitment to leave no one behind and being a UN that delivers for all.
