摘要

本文將台灣人權促進會（台權會）放置於戰後台灣社會發展的歷史脈絡中，回顧台權會的發展史及遠眺未來的展望。
台權會的發展，得約略分為兩個時期：1984年成立後至1994年人權運動與戰後台灣的政治民主化運動相結合，即人權運動亦為民主政治運動時期；以及1995年以後跨越政治民主化運動，為營造一個人權國度所作的各種努力。
台權會的發展目標，從以往的「釋放所有政治犯」轉變為今日的喚醒全民人權意識、從事人權教育、將國際人權標準引入台灣，期使台灣漸漸能成為「人權輸出國」。

This article reviews the development of the Taiwan Association for Human Rights (TAHR) with consideration of the historic context of Taiwan after WWⅡ, and its future prospects.
TAHR's advocacy of human rights has historically gone through two different sets of objectives. From 1984 to 1994, the organization blended its fight for human rights into the democracy movement in Taiwan as the overall society suffered under repression by the KMT dictatorship. The organization tightly associated its defense of human rights with the struggle for democracy in Taiwan during that period, and the release of all political prisoners became its major task.
By 1995, the task of freeing political prisoners was well accomplished and therefore TAHR began to further differentiate its pursuit of human rights from the democracy movement of the country. Since then, TAHR has turned to the promotion of human rights education and to bring international standards for human rights into domestic law, in the hope that Taiwan can do its share in the worldwide promotion of human rights.
