摘要: | 自我國政府於1949年播遷來臺後,一度禁止兩岸人民相互來往。到1987年11月2日我國政府開放民眾赴中國大陸探親後,才重新啟動後兩岸民間交流的管道。到目前為止的二十多年中,各項民間交流日趨熱絡,其中,兩岸通婚即為民間交流中重要的一環。但是由於兩岸的政治立場因素,我國政府始終保持對中國大陸政府有限度的交流。也由於當中仍有國家安全因素、社會福利因素的考量,及過去中國大陸因經濟狀況不如我國,因此對大陸地區人民因婚姻而來臺居留、定居,以較為嚴格的限制對待。我國有大陸配偶、港澳配偶、外籍配偶的區分,但是對於大陸配偶有差別待遇,又以移民配額控管制度、國籍取得年限、參政權限制尤為嚴格。
本文的研究重點,在於我國素以民主法治的國家自居,又參與各項國際公約,塑造出重視人權的國家形象。但是,在對大陸配偶的對待上,卻又不甚合理。因此本文透過與婚姻移民有關權利的理論與《憲法》的平等權與對婚姻家庭權利的制度性保障,與有關的國際公約如《聯合國憲章》(Charter of the United Nations)、《世界人權宣言》(Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UDHR)、《公民與政治權利國際公約》(International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, ICCPR)、《經濟社會文化權利國際公約》(International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, ICESCR)進行爬梳,整理出對婚姻移民的人權保障依據。另外,也透過我國對大陸配偶、港澳配偶、外籍配偶的差別待遇,探討差別待遇是否合理。也參酌先進國家的立法例,或與我國背景類似國家的立法例,整理出其他國家值得借鏡之處。最後透過《憲法》及相關國際人權公約對於人權保障的依據,檢視移民配額控管制度、國籍取得年限、參政權限制的合憲性。
研究結果發現,目前我國對大陸配偶移民配額控管制度、國籍取得年限、參政權限制,皆難謂合憲。只是目前此差別待遇仍然存在的原因,有司法院大法官面對兩岸事務時的司法退縮,也有目前國會修法不易及政府對全面落實人權保障未下定決心。本文建議我國政府應全面檢討涉及歧視的法律規定,並獎勵婚姻移民法制的研究,也應給予婚姻移民發聲的管道與權利,從而保障其基礎人權。
