Future Possibilities for the Relation between Taiwan and the UN
Lin Man-Houng
(Research Fellow, Institute of Modern History)
The first chapter of the United Nations (UN) Charter states how the organization's purpose is to “maintain international peace and security” among others. Article 4 in chapter 2 explains that membership to the UN is open to “all other peace-loving states which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter.” If the international legal status of Taiwan is, as many people say, “undetermined,” then Taiwan is just not in a position to join the UN, and it is useless to elaborate on a topic like the future possibilities for the relation between Taiwan and the UN.
