On May 20 the government officially takes office the President-elect Ma Ying-jeou .
Until then, the reins of the island will remain in the hands of Chen Shui-bian, leader of the independent blood Taiwanese and member of the PDP (Democratic Progressive Party) , have lost the legislative elections of January and the presidential March, but entered the history of Taiwan as the only real alternative to KMT (Kuomintang) Ma Ying-jeou.
Chen's eight years, elected first in 2000 and reconfirmed in 2004 not be completed, however muted. The last day in office will coincide with the opening session of ' World Health Assembly (19-24 May), the governing body of' World Health Organization, which will be directed towards yet another appeal for a Taiwan be allowed to participate in the activities of the organization.
A real Mission Impossible since in 2005 the WHO Secretariat and China signed a memorandum in agreement that the organization must receive permission Beijing before making any official contact with Taiwan.
Moreover, since the current Director-General really a Chinese Margaret Chan, the chance to make inroads in the Secretariat be reduced further.
However, the Taiwanese Minister Shieh Jhy-wey , 's Government Office for the Information , has published two articles on the request made by his government.
With the first ( "Protecting free press requires international cooperation" ) wanted to focus on the fact that the Department of Public dell'Informzione in the United Nations does not allow Taiwanese journalists to get press credentials because Taiwan is not a member of the WHO. This, according to the minister Shieh, "clearly indicates that the rights and the right to health of the inhabitants of Taiwan are violated for political reasons."
With the second ( "The lack of transparency hinders the universal application of the IHR ), the Minister Shieh wanted instead to focus on a technical aspect, which is a step in the International Health Regulations, which has as its goal universal protection of all peoples World from the international spread of disease "- par.3 Art.3, 2005.
In the opinion of the Minister, such a step stride with the actual reality of things, which does not permit to Taiwan (and its 23 million inhabitants) to be part of the WHO, in fact going to create some sort of flaw in international health care system. Taiwan, notes Shieh Jhy-wey, is indeed a hub of international importance, with regard to the movement of persons, goods and migration of animals. leaving outside the WHO would like to leave open the door when the storm rages outside.
course, one can quibble on the position International Taiwan, considered by most governments World a province of China Popular and therefore part of the jurisdiction of China.
Or you can argue that, since it is not an integral part of ' UN then it can not even be a member of' WHO.
These and other considerations support the argument that Taiwan should not be part of international organizations.
It is true however, that if Taiwan was actually a rebel province, then it would have its own government, even if not globally recognized. It would not make its currency freely exchanged on a mercati internazionali. Non avrebbe una propria storia post-1945 differente da quella della Cina continentale. Non avrebbe uffici di rappresentanza e ambasciate (seppur poche) sparsi per il Mondo. Non si leggerebbe "Made in Taiwan" sulle etichette di alcuni prodotti tecnologici.
Sicuramente, la situazione politica internazionale dà ragione a Pechino e la Storia non aiuta a dipanare la matassa.
La fine della Seconda Guerra Mondiale ha lasciato irrisolte troppe questioni in Estremo Oriente e una di queste, la più grande, proprio quella di Taiwan. Figlia della suddivisione mondiale in due blocchi contrapposti e frutto di compromessi storici tra le potenze in gioco.
L'appartenenza di Taipei alle organizzazioni internazionali, leggi OMS , è quindi succube di questa situazione.
Il ministro Shieh , nei suoi articoli, afferma l'esistenza di motivazioni politiche dietro alla scelta di non ammettere Taiwan all'assemblea dell'Organizzazione sanitaria mondiale.
Taipei sarebbe disposta anche ad accettare una sorta di accordo preliminare di avvicinamento in qualità di membro osservatore (ad esempio, secondo il sottoscritto, con il nome Taipei cinese , come peraltro avviene già per alcune altre organizzazioni come il WTO )
L'importante, però, è che ai 23 milioni of Taiwanese, however, be granted a medical support. Which is currently hampered by issues mainly "red tape".
