This paper attempts to explore the optimal method to create a national institution of human rights ("NIHR") in Taiwan in accordance with the 1993 UN Paris Principles, via the present constitutional framework. The Control Yuan appears to be the most promising as a potential NIHR. It is an independent government branch established by the separation of powers doctrine of the Constitution, instead of a law promulgated by Congress, which makes it an ideal NIHR because it cannot be abrogated by Congress, and its new role as an NIHR will not require any constitutional amendment. The Control Yuan has all the necessary powers and instruments that an effective NIHR needs, including the powers to investigate, impeach, and correct. Furthermore, it is perfectly positioned to promote human rights education among government agencies after it is reconceived as an NIHR. The structural changes must be done through proper legislation by Congress. Congress can pass a law designating a certain percentage, say, 50%, of Control Yuan members to concurrently serve as NIHR commission members. Another relevant measure is that the President will have to nominate qualified Control Yuan/NIHR member candidates for Congress's approval.
