Abstract ｜
The existence and operation of the Blacklist is a specific case of violation of the basic human rights of the people under the unusual system, it is also an important human rights issue during the period of authoritarian rule. The Blacklist control measures are mainly for the government to prevent the dissidents from bringing dissent speeches back to Taiwan, which would have an impact on the legitimacy of government rule. In April 18, 2003, with the no.558 of the interpretation of the Constitution announced by the Justice of the Constitutional Court, it is generally believed that the overseas Blacklist has officially ended. The Taiwan Association for Human Rights is the longest-running civil society organization that has long been concerned about Taiwan’s human rights affairs, of which the human rights violations and restrictions under the formation and operation of the Blacklist has been one of the main topics. Through investigating the records and discussions on the Blacklist by the publications of The Taiwan Association for Human Rights, it will help to further understand the violations of human rights during the period of the Kuomintang government. The article mainly uses information tools to explore the human rights series published by The Taiwan Association for Human Rights by adopting digital humanities research methods, combining with humanistic interpretation to further explore the meaning and focus of the Blacklist in the “Taiwan Human Rights Series Magazine.”
