Hi, Great to see you again. Congratulations. You have completed all the course. I wish you like each and every part of the series. Well, what can you learn from all these six parts of the presentation? Do you have a general idea about the commonality or the salient feature of Taiwan law in contexts? Of course. If you know that better, then we can bring up all some of the commonality and maybe salient feature of Taiwan law for you. Number 1, do you feel lag? Taiwan law has undergone tremendous transformation, not only in constitutional law, administrative law, but also in social law, economic law, civil law, even criminal procedure. It's a quite a bit of transformation and it reflects also the transformation of Taiwan is started really bad. Taiwan used to be under martial law rule, and also the Constitution was imposed. Human rights was unrecognized, and society itself, has lost its vitality in many ways because of strong political control. But now Taiwan is of what democracy? Economy is quite good in applying cutting edge technology in the world, particularly information and communication technology. There has been tremendous transformation of law. You will look in to the function of courts. We also see that pass of transformation. Taiwan's court used to be not very credible. People do not trust courts for relief, or for rights protection. But gradually, Taiwan's court system become more credible. Particularly, the Constitutional Court has render 795 interpretations so far in a area of constitutional interpretation and also judicial review on government policy and legislations. The most recent and maybe also iconic interpretation is interpretation number 748 that legalize same-sex marriage. The court found that the Civil Court fail to recognize same-sex person has the right to form a permanent union. The court come up with a decision saying that, this Civil Court has violated the equality clause of the Constitution. But at the same time, the court respect the political sector, indicating that the political sector should come away, and also find a way to legalize this, either through that revision of Civil Court or come up with a special law leaving this decision to the political sector through public debate. In end, a civil society was able to come up with a compromise. Debating about that, in the end, Taiwan became the first Asian State, legalize same-sex marriage. This is a function of the court. People recognize the importance of court and get access to court for rights protection. Of course, the Congress, it used to be filled with aging representative elected long ago in China. Gradually through constitutional revision, there was a new Congress that people had the right to choose their representatives. Now Congress, there's more accountable passing laws that the society needs, including economic legislation, political reform, social stability, environmental protection, and things like that. Of course more importantly, the Executive, that is government agency now are more open. The process is more open, an they're more accountable to people's needs. Freedom of Information, and also efficiency in delivery and receive lots of monitoring and check from the general public. These are all the product of transformation. The second element I would like to say, maybe it's about the dynamics behind that transformation, particularly the landscape or post transformation. There is a debate about the function and also. The prospect of democratic transformation, one scenario would be the downfall of civil society. Why? That is because we have established credible course, more accountable government. Then the civil society could simply lose the momentum of check and monitoring. Is happening in some parts of the world, there was a book warning about the several vitality of East and Central European country after transformation. Here in Taiwan, we found that after successful transformation, our civil society is still very watchful and engaged. Even up to now, we have routine at action, and also the electoral system are more and more credible and regime change become normal. Government function become more and more transparent and acceptable. But at the same time our civil society which fault so seriously and vigorously in trajectory of transformation still remain very watchful and engaged in puppy policy formation. They still exercise their vitality looking into every aspects of government function. They go to Bodh, not only go to Bodh, they also watch about puppy policy, engaged and debate. The formation of various monetary social groups in Taiwan represent exaggerated scenario. In Taiwan we have very strong social groups representing almost every issues of the society, ranging from child protection to any more protection, to social stability, to the environment. Even to every aspects of people's lives, and this is social vitality. We are happy to see we have legal system that support servile engagement. That civil vitality will still be functioning in the future with this legal system. I will also like to say this legal system, together with the political developments and also the development of technology, has come up with social capital that Taiwan rely on to move ahead. I have found Taiwan as a island. Whereas island ecology, confronting all kinds of crises and challenges include in nature disaster, typhoon, earthquake, you name it. Even Taiwan has gone through a process of international isolation. But Taiwan people and government still fight very vigorously to honor international norm. Particularly when the United Nation launched Sustainable Development. That is to bring the human society, in a more harmonious way of future development, combine economical, social, and ecological, environmental, develop a man into a more sustainable one. I found this legal system has been pretty much behind the pursuit of long-term sustainability for Taiwan now withstanding lots of challenges from nature course or from the global system, or even from the island itself. Challenges, resilience, and law, what an interesting match? This series of presentation about Taiwan's dynamics of law and legal systems is for you to understand and embrace what kind of hardship that we have gone through. But there are always opportunities for us. As long as we dare to change. We need to change when we do need to make a difference. Particularly when you are in all kinds of hardship and crisis. This is a story about Taiwan's legal struggle for a better man and for a better world. Thank you very much.
