2015年10月29日,最高法院裁定駁回王光祿上訴案,確定持有獵槍獵得山羌山羊以自用的布農族人王光祿,應服刑3年6個月。此案引起社會高度的關注,為何一個只是到山區打了二隻動物的原住民最後會需要入監服刑3年6個月?是法律出了問題還是法院出了問題?本文從兩人權公約的角度,分析原住民之狩獵權內涵,並透過法律分析、原住民狩獵文化的解釋,進一步分析本案的三個爭點。本文發現,法院對於「兩公約」、「文化」、「原住民使用槍械的歷史」的有限認識,是形成此錯誤判決的主要原因。
On Oct. 29th 2015, the Supreme Court overruled the appeal of Wang Guang-Lu, making it the final and binding judgement. According to the judgment, Wang, who used a self-made shotgun to capture a Formosan Reeve's muntjac and a mountain goat, was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison. This particular case aroused much public concern: why would an indigenous people who went hunting two animals for his own usage will need to put into jail for 3 years and 6 months? Is something wrong in the law itself or was it a incorrect judgment? This paper tries to analyze the issues by re-examine the content of indigenous hunting rights embedded in the two Human Rights Covenants. In result, this paper finds that the court made a incorrect judgment due to its limited acknowledgement about the two Human Rights Covenants, the concept of culture as well as the history of how indigenous peoples use shotgun.
