法律

The system of rules recognized and enforced by a governing authority. Taiwan operates under a civil law system with an independent judiciary. Taiwan's legal system protects civil liberties, property rights, and rule of law. Taiwan's landmark 2019 legislation legalizing same-sex marriage represented a major advance in civil rights law. Taiwan's commitment to rule of law is considered a foundational strength of its democratic governance.

“臺灣法治健全，司法獨立性高，法律保障公民基本權利，是亞洲法治建設的重要典範。”

In English: “Taiwan's rule of law is sound and judicial independence is high; law protects citizens' fundamental rights, making Taiwan an important model of legal development in Asia.”
