消除對婦女一切形式歧視公約（CEDAW）自1981年起生效，已成為國際上多數國家遵循之主流價值。台灣因受其特殊之國際法地位所影響，無法正式參與CEDAW，之後，台灣非政府組織（NGOs）蓬勃發展，其推動我國政府重視CEDAW並且將之轉入內國法化，這一連串之動態過程中，不僅發現CEDAW、在國內倡議CEDAW，也積極遊說政府並參與將其轉換為內國法，終於使得我國得以遞交CEDAW加入書，進而於2011年訂立施行法而完成CEDAW的內國法化；而在落實CEDAW的面向，NGOs也扮演重要角色，不僅協助在CEDAW的專家審查程序中，協助國家報告之撰擬，並能提出影子報告來反映我國實踐CEDAW的真實情況，並敦促成立五院之監督機制、協助檢視各種法律是否與CEDAW有所扞格，進而進行修法、敦促司法機關於個案中援引CEDAW，使我國能逐步落實CEDAW的各種標準及原則、使我國法律體系逐漸符合CEDAW之要求及意旨。本文除探討台灣NGOs在CEDAW此一跨國規範秩序與我國法匯流過程中所扮演之角色、地位及其重要性，並將以NGOs倡議引入國際法的基本理論，及NGOs促使國家落實國際規範的理論，以檢視並分析前述台灣NGOs引入CEDAW並且促使台灣落實CEDAW規範之過程，並提出初步分析及觀察。
The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) came into force in 1981, and the values promoted by the CEDAW have been the standards adopted by many countries. However, Taiwan encounters difficulties on officially participating CEDAW due to its unique legal status under international law. The Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Taiwan have played a significant role on implementing CEDAW in Taiwan. For instances advo-cating CEDAW, participating in converting into domestic law, assisting with drafting Government Reports, presenting NGOs reports on related issues, urging the Monitor-ing Mechanisms of five branches built, letting CEDAW converge to our law as well as urging the judiciary citing CEDAW case by case. All these measure have been aimed at enforcing the values within the CEDAW and proved that Taiwan’s NGOs have played a major part in governmental governance. This article will explore this issue and highlight the significant roles that Taiwan’s NGOs have played in the pro-cess of implementing CEDAW in Taiwan.
