一九八七年台灣解嚴後，在執政者政策，公民社會團體的倡導、新聞媒體的傳播與政府部門的實踐下，台灣的人權有長足的進步。惟若檢視現狀，台灣雖被稱爲亞洲中最自由民主的國家，但除言論自由與婦女權利外，財產權與人身自由之保障仍有努力空間，至於生命權、集會結社自由、勞工權利、原住民簇權利與環境權等保障則須大力誰動，方能週延保障人民之各項基本權利。比較亞洲諸國，台灣之人權保障固然較有令人稱道之處，但仍可再加深耕。造成台灣人權發展之瓶頸者，主要爲人權是否爲治國政策之重心，政罕部門之調整過於緩慢，外在誘因不足，公民社會及人權文化的問題。本文以爲人權之路不能回頭，應從其形式與實質兩個層面繼續努力。

After martial Law was lifted in Taiwan in 1987, ruler's policy, civil societies' advocacy, news medias' dissemination and government's practice had made human rights protection of this country much progress Examineing the present conditions, we can find Taiwan still has some drawbacks although she is called the first liberal and democratic nation in Asia. The freedom of speech and woman's right of Taiwan are better than other Asian countries. But property right and personal freedom of Taiwan still has some insufficiency. With regard to the freedom of assembly and association, worker's rights, indigenous peoples' right and environmental right, Taiwan should promote them greatly
This country faces serious hindrance about human rights. These includes national policy 、slow adaption of government、insufficiency of outside causes 、the problems of civil societies and human rights culture The writer contends the road of human rights is not return. We have to continuously enrich the forms and substantial of human rights.
