TAIWAN | Control Yuan presents 90th Anniversary Special Issue

On 29 July 2021, the Control Yuan officially released “The Control Yuan 90^th Anniversary Special Issue.” This year, 2021, marks the 90^th anniversary of the establishment of the Control Yuan (CY).

At the end of 2020, President Chu CHEN instructed CY Secretary General Judy, Fu-meei JU to plan a series of activities to commemorate the occasion while still taking into account the Covid-19 pandemic, and to start compiling an anniversary special issue in the hopes of showcasing the positive work that the CY does in helping the workings of government.

This special issue covers the history of the CY, progress in the handling of human rights issues, important landmarks in the CY’s work, and the appearance of the building that houses it both past and present. It presents a discussion of the historical evolution of this supervisory authority and offers statistical analyses to provide government agencies with an insight into the past that can help prevent future mistakes. It can also serve as a reference for the CY in planning future focus and resource allocation.

The final chapter of the special issue, “Inheritance and Transformation,” showcases the direction of innovation and reform in the various areas of CY work as it has strived to be an institution that works for the rights of the people with professionalism, technological capability, and transparency. 

Under the instruction of President CHEN, the special issue was headed up by CY Secretary General Judy, Fu-meei JU, going beyond the usual format of the institution’s regular publications. It took more than four months to compile the book, with 20 editorial meetings held by the secretary general and about 123 participants, and it was edited in the most economical way.
