<\/p>\n\n\n\n – – – – – English Version – – – – –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In recent years, international requirements for the management of transnational supply chains and human rights due diligence have become increasingly stringent. The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct<\/strong> call for the establishment of National Contact Points (NCPs)<\/strong> as non-judicial mechanisms for dispute resolution and dialogue, helping enterprises reduce operational risks and implement responsible business conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In September 2024, Taiwan\u2019s Executive Yuan approved the designation of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) as Taiwan\u2019s National Contact Point, responsible for inter-ministerial coordination and for handling complaints concerning corporate human rights abuses. However, the MOEA has repeatedly delayed the announcement of the relevant procedures for submitting complaints and the mechanism for the NCP\u2019s operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, September 1, the Environmental Rights Foundation, a member of TTNC WATCH, together with affected communities and advocacy groups in Indonesia, formally submitted Taiwan\u2019s first complaint under the NCP mechanism to the Ministry of Economic Affairs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Legislator Lin Yueh-chin<\/strong>, together with organisations concerned with business and human rights, also attended the press conference to express their support. The participating groups called on the government to activate the NCP mechanism and make effective use of the NCP\u2019s good offices<\/strong> to facilitate early dialogue and negotiation and to resolve conflicts before they escalate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amid today\u2019s increasingly complex geopolitical and economic challenges, Taiwan should take proactive steps to ensure that its external trade and private-sector investments are highly resilient and sustainable. By implementing responsible business conduct, preventing risks of human rights and environmental harm, and strengthening Taiwan\u2019s industrial credibility, Taiwan can better safeguard its international reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attorney Yen Shih-cheng of the Environmental Rights Foundation<\/strong> explained that the Foundation and Indonesian organisations had previously engaged with the enterprises concerned on two occasions. However, the results of these direct engagements remained insufficient. The groups therefore decided to formally submit a complaint to the Ministry of Economic Affairs, requesting that the Ministry, in accordance with Taiwan\u2019s business and human rights policies and the OECD Guidelines, assist the enterprises and affected stakeholders in carrying out effective engagement and follow up on subsequent improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yen pointed out that the Executive Yuan had designated the Ministry of Economic Affairs as Taiwan\u2019s National Contact Point (NCP) as early as 2024. However, the channel for submitting complaints and the procedures for handling them remain unclear. He called on the Ministry to formally accept this case and move the NCP from a policy declaration to an operational mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Titis of Action for Ecology and People Emancipation (AEER)<\/strong>, who has long monitored the impacts of nickel mining in Indonesia, called on parent companies investing in subsidiaries in Indonesia to strictly implement human rights due diligence (HRDD)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Titis also called for improvements to the nickel industry\u2019s highly carbon-intensive reliance on captive coal-fired power plants (PLTU<\/strong>). Companies should establish mechanisms for participation and engagement with local communities and other stakeholders, while also providing accessible channels for grievances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amar, a representative of the FSPIM Morowali Labour Union<\/strong>, described the situation faced by workers in the area, particularly problems including inadequate ventilation and the lack of dust collection equipment in ore-mixing facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He also referred to the workplace accident involving Andri<\/strong>, saying that the incident reflected serious failures in the supervision of occupational safety and health (K3<\/strong>) among companies operating in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amar called for improvements to personal protective equipment (APD<\/strong>) for workers in smelting furnace operating areas, as well as basic labour welfare measures, including shuttle bus services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yana, a representative of Fagawene, a local organisation in the Weda Bay area<\/strong>, expressed serious concerns about environmental impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Yana, wastewater discharges associated with nickel mining and coal-fired power plants have led to coral death and forced fishing grounds further away from local communities. Meanwhile, extensive deforestation has contributed to flooding, severely affecting residential areas and depriving local communities of access to clean sources of drinking water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Awal, a representative of Fakawele, a local organisation in the Weda Bay area<\/strong>, explained that after agricultural land was incorporated into the concession area of Weda Bay Nickel<\/strong>, the Sagea area has been placed under the burden of an excessive number of mining permits (IUPs<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The large number of mining permits has also placed the river and lake ecosystems in Sagea, as well as tourism resources such as the Boki Maruru Cave<\/strong>, at risk of irreversible damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Legislator Lin Yueh-chin<\/strong> attended the press conference to express her support. She noted that both the 2022 and this year\u2019s international reviews of Taiwan\u2019s implementation of the two International Covenants on Human Rights had called on Taiwan to establish an NCP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since August last year, when she joined Taiwanese and Indonesian civil society groups in holding a press conference on the issue, Lin has continued to follow up with the Ministry of Economic Affairs in writing. Although the Ministry has responded twice, she said it has never clearly explained how the government will proactively ascertain the facts of a case, who is responsible for receiving complaints, or how complaints will be handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, the Ministry\u2019s responses focused only on relatively passive measures, such as strengthening outreach and communication with enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe international review bodies have urged Taiwan twice, yet complainants still cannot even find the door.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that the responsible authority has been designated and the relevant research reports have been completed, Lin argued that the government can no longer continue asking stakeholders to wait on the grounds that the mechanism is \u201cstill under planning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She called for clear confirmation of the contact point, procedures and timelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAn NCP is called a National Contact Point, yet there must actually be a point of contact where complaints concerning the protection of human rights can be received and acted upon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yang Shu-wei, Secretary-General of the Taiwan Labour Front<\/strong>, emphasised that multiple layers of outsourcing and cross-border business relationships in global supply chains often conceal labour and human rights abuses, including forced labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Corporate responsibility should not stop at mere compliance. Enterprises must proactively implement the human rights due diligence<\/strong> advocated by the OECD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an important part of global supply chains, Taiwan has already established an inter-ministerial mechanism to prevent goods linked to forced labour from entering the market, in response to pressure arising from Taiwan\u2013US trade relations and the United States\u2019 Section 301 measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, when it comes to human rights abuses occurring in overseas supply chains, Taiwan still lacks a grievance and remedy mechanism that is substantively functional, independent and impartial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yang called on the government to implement the National Contact Point (NCP) in accordance with the OECD Guidelines and to update Taiwan\u2019s long-delayed National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights<\/strong> as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is not merely a response to international trade pressure, he said, but a crucial step for Taiwan to move from \u201cpassive alignment\u201d with international standards towards proactively establishing a system of corporate human rights governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shih Yi-hsiang, Senior Researcher at the Taiwan Association for Human Rights<\/strong>, noted that as early as 2011, Taiwan\u2019s Investment Commission under the Ministry of Economic Affairs had sent officials overseas to investigate the Wei Chuan Cambodia case and had required the company to strengthen its protection of human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fifteen years later, Taiwan has gained considerable international recognition for its National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights<\/strong> and has also announced the establishment of an NCP. Shih argued that the Ministry of Economic Affairs therefore has even less reason to reject the present complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ministry should be even more proactive than it was in the 2011 case in investigating transnational corporate impacts, protecting the rights of affected communities in Indonesia, and addressing environmental or human rights harms caused by business activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shih further criticised the continued delay in the release of the Ministry\u2019s second National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights, which, he said, has now been delayed for 609 days<\/strong>. Other policies related to major Withhold Release Order cases and the Taiwan\u2013US reciprocal trade agreement have also continued to be delayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf the NCP formally accepts this case today and actively begins investigating the issues involved, at the very least the Ministry of Economic Affairs\u2014which is responsible for business and human rights\u2014will have something concrete to demonstrate to the public,\u201d Shih said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf the Ministry of Economic Affairs continues to neglect this issue, it will only prove that the Ministry has no genuine intention of implementing Taiwan\u2019s business and human rights policies. In that case, it should simply be honest with the public instead of wasting everyone\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u8fd1\u5e74\u570b\u969b\u9593\u5c0d\u8de8\u570b\u4f9b\u61c9\u93c8\u7ba1\u7406\u8207\u4eba\u6b0a\u76e1\u8077\u8abf\u67e5\u7684\u8981\u6c42\u65e5\u76ca\u56b4\u683c\u3002\u7d93\u6fdf\u5408\u4f5c\u767c\u5c55\u7d44\u7e54\uff08OECD\uff09\u300a\u591a\u570b\u7c4d\u4f01\u696d\u6307\u5c0e\u7db1\u9818\u8207\u8cac\u4efb […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":57386,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,176,42],"tags":[149,330,331,332],"class_list":["post-57385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-bnhr","category-pressrelease","tag-149","tag-330","tag-ncp","tag-332"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erf.org.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erf.org.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erf.org.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erf.org.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erf.org.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57385"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/erf.org.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57390,"href":"https:\/\/erf.org.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57385\/revisions\/57390"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erf.org.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erf.org.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erf.org.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erf.org.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Taiwan\u2019s First OECD National Contact Point (NCP) Complaint Submitted to the Ministry of Economic Affairs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
